Laetitia Donatone

Laetitia has been a Yoga practitioner since 2017, becoming a certified Lotus Flow inspired Yoga Vinyasa instructor in 2019 in Paris. Her classes feature chakra-inspired sequencing designed to gracefully engage both body and mind, from root to crown. With options that present varying levels of challenge, Laetitia's classes offer something for everyone.

Laetitia views embracing Vinyasa yoga as not just a physical practice but also a form of dance and movement guided by the rhythm of the breath as a holistic workout for the body, mind and spirit. She is committed to sharing her practice and knowledge with her students, guiding them to feel better and more aligned after each session. Whether it's through hands-on adjustments or breaking down movements to impart understanding, Laetitia finds joy in helping her students grow.

Growing up near Paris, France, Laetitia was all about dance and music from the start. She started ballet at age 5 and has remained dedicated to dancing continuously thereafter. Her academic journey led her to a French Business School, where alongside her studies, she performed in numerous musicals, integrating her artistic passions with her business education. Following the completion of her MBA, Laetitia immersed herself in the cosmetic industry, devoting 15 years to her career in the field. In 2017, seeking a deeper connection to her own wellness and balance, Laetitia transitioned to the holistic practice of Yoga. By 2019, she had earned her certification as a Vinyasa Yoga instructor (RYT-200), after being trained in Paris by a former NYC Lotus graduate, in a style inspired by Lotus Flow. Laetitia was drawn to this dancelike discipline for its holistic approach to health and spirituality and its potential to profoundly enrich lives.

She customizes her classes to foster a strong mind-body connection, motivating her students to uncover their potential and discover serenity through dedicated practice. With a thoughtful structure, her classes combine a thoughtful and challenging physical practice with mindful reflection.

Laetitia is so grateful to have found the Lotusland community in San Francisco, where she now lives with her husband and two sons.
