Welcome to radiance
An embodiment-based, ashtanga-inspired training designed to create lasting transformation. Uses Synergic Inquiry, Self-Inquiry and Facilitated Breathwork to assist students in evolving through limiting thought and movement patterns.
What we learn to teach, we integrate.
It is as simple as that. When you know you will be responsible for sharing something with another human being, you automatically take it to heart in a different way. Whether you take the training for personal development or with the intention to begin teaching yoga we encourage our trainees to begin to SEE through the eyes of a teacher.
The PATH of Teaching is a PATH of integration: making something living wisdom, which can then be shared and passed on.
Passing on the living wisdom of yoga is the purpose of our 200 HR Devoted Yogi Teacher Training.
We give you the tools to teach and practice vibrantly, progressively, and with confidence. That’s our commitment to you.
We are dedicated to bringing you the finest art, science, and tradition yoga has to offer.

Meet Your Instructor
Jenna McDonald, 500 HR E-RYT
Asana, Art of Teaching and Philosophy
Jenna brings a combination of rich Asana-based teachings and a background in Vedanta and Sanskrit together for a unique lineage-based approach to modern yoga. She teaches and is trained in Vinyasa Yoga, Yin Yoga, and Various Forms of Pranayama & Meditation with over 1,000 hours of combined teacher training. She is the lead instructor and director of the Devoted Yogi Teacher Training.
It has always been her vision to bring the spiritual richness of global yoga to the greater Seattle Area (her birthplace) and with rotating faculty, she is happy to announce that dream manifest!
With a BA in Eastern Philosophy and Decolonization from Evergreen State College, she recently returned to graduate school to increase her toolbox for large group and depth psychology facilitation. Her MA in Transformative Leadership with an emphasis on Matricentric and Gifting Culture paradigms helps her guide students towards what is possible in exiting movement and mental patterns born of a market economy consciousness.
Jenna’s main teaching work is now international advanced women’s trainings, but she is always happy to offer a local training when there is a demand for a deep-dive, quality yoga experience.
3 words to describe Jenna's teaching:
Technical. Devotional. Attuned.
TESTIMONIALS
Here's What Students Say About Devoted Yogi 200 HR Teacher Training
“Finding Jenna and DEVOTED YOGI has been a profound blessing for me. I have practiced yoga in many places, and I find that the healing art of yoga is being offered with such clarity, generosity, and respect in Jenna’s studio. There is no judgment, which fosters a safe space to be where you are in the practice and to reach for the edge of your practice when inspired. By weaving a deep understanding of yoga philosophy, anatomy, and embodied consciousness, Jenna cultivates room for the divine to emerge, for the ordinary to become illuminated. Authentic connection is revealed. I cherish my time here, and I always leave class feeling renewed and resourced regardless of the circumstances going on in my life. DEVOTED YOGI is a bright, warm treasure, that reminds me to live in the larger arc.”
“The YTT gave me the tools necessary to make my own work creative and genuine. It’s impossible to name everything this training taught me, but to name a few: I learned breath and thought are inextricably connected. I learned how to replace old thought patterns with healthier, more productive ones for positive change. I learned that remaining curious opens the flood gates to creativity. The teacher training with Jenna was a cocoon of nourishment and growth; its effects have been omnipresent.”
Does this sound like you?
At Devoted Yogi, we are actively searching for those on a journey of self-inquiry and dedication to an embodiment practice. The unbroken lineage of the teacher-to-student relationship and the Vedic underpinnings of this training require a commitment to work through DEPTH philosophy, GROUNDBREAKING anatomy, and an entirely new vision of self, god, and the world.
We hope that students coming in:
Have general knowledge of basic vinyasa postures already.
Can move through a vinyasa style class without pain.
Are open to true yoga lifestyle training.
This is not core power yoga. It is a strictly asana-focused course and will not leave you without the proper training in sequencing, posture, and alignment. In fact, it is a true mixture of philosophy, breath, asana, and meditation.
