Meet Your Instructor

Easy Flow Yoga! 

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to Fall semester 2021 at SRJC! I am Donna Burch and I have been teaching at SRJC since the Fall of 1998.  I received my Masters degree in Kinesiology from Sonoma State University in 1999. I did my thesis on The Preoperative Effects of Therapeutic Water Exercise on Total Knee Replacement Patients.  I have been an Aquatics professional for over 40 years and started teaching Yoga 24 years ago. Another instructor I know calls herself a 'Quality of Life Provider' and I love that!  I love that what I am honored to do for a living can, and hopefully does, add quality to people's lives. 

I also teach at Santa Rosa's Finley Aquatic Center where I teach Water Fitness classes.  Before the pandemic, I also taught Therapeutic Water Exercise and Water Fitness Instructor Training classes, and Yoga at the Finley Senior Center.  I look forward to the day when we are all allowed to return to the activities that we enjoy when it is safe to do so. I never ever thought I would teach online. Ever. So, hang in there with me! Some of you may be more experienced in Canvas than I, though I am endeavoring to get up to speed. That said, as you go through our course, if you see mistakes or other things that just don't make sense, please let me know.  I hope you will enjoy our class and have a great semester!
