In 1996, at the age of 20 ,Donovan took his first yoga class in new york city .
He was struck by the clarity, vitality and peace he felt which ignited a lifelong passion.
The spark happened at the right time, as the new york yoga scene in the late 90’s was dynamic with endless possibilities to learn.

Within a year he did his first teacher training at the Sivananda yoga vedanta center.

He has since trained with many talented teachers in the traditions of jivamukti, kundalini ,ashtanga, anusara, and most recently, Wanderlust .

Currently he teaches private clients, small groups and at several studios in Los Angeles including Equinox.

Most importantly he continues to practice and teach because it simply makes life more abundant , healthy and harmonious.

Donovan is also the creator of AMPLIFIED Yoga

Amplified Yoga uses sound, rhythm, movement and ancient yogic technology to optimize you for the modern world according to Donovan McGrath, creator and founder of the practice. It’s hard to explain, but Amplified Yoga is a combination of soul-igniting Kundalini kriyas with the sensory stimuli of an EDM show, and the exaggerated movement of ecstatic dance. Donovan knows it doesn’t look or feel like a typical class, and anticipates resistance. But the concepts he uses in Amplified Yoga are very much based on [Patanjali’s] eight limbs, he says. The tradition, history, and philosophy of yoga are deeply entrenched but it is for this moment, in the modern world according to Donovan.
In addition to Wanderlust, you can experience Amplified at Burning Man, or at Wanderlust Hollywood, Equinox West Hollywood, or unplug Meditation West Hollywood.
