Donna first been interested in health through Nutrition. She graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelors from University of New Hampshire and went on to get a Masters at Loma Linda U in Riverside CA. After that she lived and worked for three years in Europe as a model. (82-85)
Upon returning from Paris she discovered Kundalini Yoga and studied acting in New York City. For ten years she was very involved in both, getting into the Acting Unions and teaching yoga at the same time.
She did a National Fitness Tour for Bailey's Light as a fitness and health spokesperson, insisting that they allow her to emphasize Yoga. This was in 1993 before Yoga became so popular. She also did a PR tour for GHI Health Insurance Company where she again spoke of the health benefits of Yoga and proper Nutrition. These tours included radio and television interviews.
In 1990 Donna Davidge had already self-produced her first Kundalini Yoga video Strength and Serenity which she sold independently. In 1996 she collaborated with Christian Dinh of Overseas Productions and self-produced again, this time on a YOGA VIDEO called The Challenge. YOGA JOURNAL chose The Challenge as one of their top ten choices in 2000.
In 1997 Donna embarked on a new adventure, purchasing her great grandfather's homestead in Northern Maine, The Sewall House, which is in the National Registry of Historic Places.
Her great grandfather Bill Sewall was a well known Nature Guide in the late 1800's who had a life long friendship with Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt first came to Sewall House as a freshman at Harvard with life threatening asthma. He was cured of his asthma by his stays with William Sewall at Sewall House.
Donna created a YOGA RETREAT at Sewall House to carry on the family heritage and history of healing the home and surrounding nature has to offer.
In 2002 Overseas Productions again contacted Donna, this time to collaborate on a Kundalini Yoga DVD that we would create in the hopes of getting it out to a larger audience through distribution.
The DVD is beautifully shot in a natural setting and has an informative narration and approach based on Davidge's 20 years of Yoga experience.
Donna has been featured in various magazines as a YOGA expert and the retreat has been featured in INSTYLE, TRAVEL & LEISURE (twice), USA TODAY, YANKEE, BANGOR DAILY NEWS, NEW ENGLAND TRAVEL AND LIFE, HEALING RETREATS & SPAS, YOGA JOURNAL and several other publications.
MS DAVIDGE (Amrita is her yoga name) has a strong commitment to YOGA and sharing the techniques and lifestyle with others so that they can discover more happiness in their life experience.
