 About Donna

Helping people reconnect with the intelligence of their body.

For over a decade, I have been helping people reconnect with themselves through movement, rest, reflection and self-compassion. My work is rooted in the belief that wellbeing isn’t something we have to earn and that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to living well.

As an speaker, wellbeing  educator and author, I am passionate about creating spaces where people feel seen, supported and that they belong. Whether I am speaking on a stage, leading a workshop, facilitating a retreat or teaching a class, my aim is always the same: to help people reconnect with themselves and remember that they do not need fixing.

I am the author of Teaching Body Positive Yoga and Demystifying Yoga. I have also contributed to Black Girls Om Too, Beyond the Mirror, Forgiveness Is the Hardest Thing and Yoga Saved My Life.

Before moving into the wellbeing world, I spent more than 20 years in the corporate sector. Today, I bring those experiences together through speaking, writing, teaching and facilitation, helping individuals, communities and organisations create more inclusive and compassionate cultures.

I was also one of the original co-creators of the UK’s first Black wellness and fitness festival and continue to advocate for greater accessibility, representation and belonging within wellbeing spaces.

Known for my warm, down-to-earth approach, I share both professional expertise and lived experience to help people challenge limiting beliefs, build self-trust and discover that wellbeing is already within them.

Because sometimes the most important journey is not becoming someone new, but coming home to yourself.

It is through the alignment of the body that I discovered the alignment of my mind, self, and intelligence..

Kind Words

Donna always hosts an insightful and engaging Diversity and Inclusion session for our Yoga Treacher Trainees.  A great facilitator who creates a safe space that allows for full and open discussions to take place.  

Many trainees find the module inspiring and come away with the answers to a lot of the difficult questions that arise from Diversity & Inclusion.  Her natural ability to connect with trainees and openly share her lived experience is often admired.  

We are genuinely thankful for her time and the knowledge and experience that she shares, helping future teachers have the confidence to create communities that are diverse and inclusive. 

We are grateful to have Donna as part of our Coaching Team.

“I have just returned from CurveSome’s yoga retreat.  The venue was amazing as is the teacher, Donna Noble.  I am a newbie at yoga and the progress I have made over the last 6 months is testament to Donna’s patience, experience and her ability to make a plus size woman feel that their size is not a limiter.  Her classes are fun and thought-provoking. As she says enjoy the (yoga) journey and I have thus far.   Thank you so much.”

I appreciate the time you have spent with me. You are a compassionate and wise coach. You have an intuition about how to gently guide me to a deeper awareness of the 3 principals. Always bringing me back to recognizing that my wisdom is always guiding me. It’s often just a small shift in perspective. Your personal stories are always just what I need to hear and are inspiring to me. I love the simplicity of being reminded that I am whole, that I have complete mental health, that my thoughts are illusion and I can just let them float by and listen for my wisdom instead. You have helped me recognize what level of consciousness I am feeling and that I don’t have to take it all so seriously. 
Thank you for you care and wisdom. It’s been a rough year for me but also a rich and deepening year. I am grateful.
May the New Year bring us increasing shifts in consciousness and deepening understandings of the 3 Principals. May we all come to live from who we truly are, Divine!

“I never knew just how much one could be inspired by listening to you speak of your passion for Yoga and Mindfulness – love that word.  I love to be inspired and you did just that for me. You speak with an eloquence that is both inviting and embracing. You make me want to explore the vast, almost unknown or rarely heard of benefits of Yoga and all that it can do to benefit our lives in a healthy and positive way. I will definitely be looking to join your Curvesomeyoga group and classes. Love you for sharing your gift and wisdom. Blessings and More Love.”

“I cannot recommend Donna enough!

Working with Donna I have experienced a huge shift in my ability to quiet my mind and get in touch with the wisdom I have in my soul that is my truth.

Donna has held space for me and pointed me back to this wisdom when I have gotten lost in my thoughts and felt I had lost my way. She showed me I am always ok, and that wisdom is always there.

Donna has a beautiful, gentle way of creating a space for honest sharing and self-reflection that allowed me to show up in my truth and share my experience. She listens and helps you return to your own truth and points you to your own sense of knowing.

Working with Donna I truly felt supported which allowed me to continue to ask questions and to love myself again in a way that has opened my thinking in a way I can see possibilities opening up in so many areas of my life.”

“Donna has been a powerful speaker to help people learn more about diversity in the health and wellbeing industry. From examining the importance of language to the intersection of yoga and race, Donna created a brave and affirming space for everyone to examine their own biases, ask questions and discuss how to teach diverse populations.”

“When I started my coaching journey, it would be fair to say that I already had some goals, but I was stuck and starting to panic. Donna’s advice and coaching expertise came just at the right time – she has helped me gain a better understanding of my life as well as the journey I would like to take, and I am now clearer not just about my career, but my personal aspirations too. On top of that, I simply feel more relaxed. Donna has been a guiding star in the sky as I came to some powerful realisations, and I can’t thank her enough.”

“Donna facilitated a ‘Nourishing Movement’ masterclass for my membership group in July 2020. Nearly 2 years later the wisdom Donna shared continues to serve the people that attended the workshop.

From Donna’s own inspiring story to dispelling myths about health and mindful movement. Donna was able to help us move away from using exercise as a means of correction and improvement to understanding mindful movement as a means of loving yourself from the inside out.

Donna’s phrase, “Move your body because you love it, not because you hate it” lives inside my body and guides my movement.

I would have Donna facilitate workshops for my company over and over again. She is a relatable, compassionate, knowledgeable and fun expert. I HIGHLY recommend.”

“My 12 weeks learning from Donna was invaluable. This course offered so much more than I was expecting, from learning how to effectively use our social media platforms for marketing purposes, to setting boundaries & learning the value of our time & energy as teachers.

We learned what it meant to be truly inclusive teachers by breaking down various asanas to make them accessible for all bodies & how the power of language can either heal or harm.

Donna empowered us as teachers to speak out about the disparities within the wellness & fitness industry & support those actioning change to create a diverse space where everyone feels seen, heard & represented.

The weekly sessions were a safe space where we could openly discuss our experiences & learn from each other. We were gently nudged out of our comfort zones & had our perspectives of ‘inclusive teaching’ challenged in order to help us grow & embrace what it really means to be an inclusive yoga teacher.

I feel extremely grateful for this time to learn, grow & find a new sense of purpose & I can’t thank Donna enough for facilitating this.”
