Hi, I’m Donna Nisha Cohen.

I became interested in personal transformation in 1978 when I began my study of yoga and meditation. I am currently a 500-hour nationally certified yoga teacher trained at Kripalu and the director of Yoga On Stillwater: Center for Self Discovery Through Yoga in Stone Ridge, NY. I have in recent years developed a therapeutic approach to yoga influenced by my study of Feldenkrais. I am certified as An Embodied Life Practitioner. An Embodied Life includes awareness practices utilizing meditation, movement, and guided self-inquiry.

I offer individual Guided Self-Inquiry Spiritual Counseling sessions as well as yoga classes and private yoga sessions. I remain curious about how we can cultivate self-understanding, clarity, and love in our lives and infuse those qualities into our families, communities, and the world.
