Yoga Instructor

Open Doors Yoga - Taunton

Donna Melchionno’s love for yoga began over 20 years ago when a massage therapist recommended she try a class. Though nervous and unsure of what to expect, she immediately felt inspired and hooked after completing her first session. In 2018, Donna took her passion to the next level by enrolling in the Open Doors Teacher Training program, where she earned her 200-hour certification. Her desire to deepen her knowledge led her to complete Jacqui Bonwell’s Advanced Yoga Teachers Training program in 2020, earning her 300-hour certification.As a 500-hour Certified Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance, Donna is excited to share her practice with others. She creates a welcoming, safe, and judgment-free environment for all students, offering classes that balance various levels of practice and encourage exploration at one’s own pace. Donna’s teaching style combines vinyasa and power flow, with a focus on breath and movement, while also nurturing the mind and spirit.As a certified Reiki II practitioner, Donna brings positive energy to her classes through hands-on assists and the use of essential oils, further enhancing the overall experience. She looks forward to meeting you on the mat!
