The Most Important Relationship
Is The One You Have With Yourself.
Hey! Iโm Donny Starkins, an International Yoga Instructor, Mindfulness Teacher, and Personal Development Coach.
Iโm a former D1 Baseball player and my journey into Mindfulness and Personal Development started after seven knee operations and an addiction to pain killers. I went to rehab in 2008, and my life has never been the same since. I was able to Shift my life, and I would love to help you achieve your goals so you too can Shift your life.

How to Work With Me
There are a several ways we can work together, each designed to create real, lasting transformation in your life:
Coaching
Whatโs in the way is the way. This work and the gift from your consistency will get you clear on why you are here. With Donnyโs accountability and emphasis on mindfulness, you become more aware, and awareness is the first step in creating any kind of change. Life is about โAttentionโ and โIntentionโ.
Attention: What has your attention? Whatโs โthe thingโ in the way of your own inner peace and freedom?
Intention: What are you going to do about it? And this is where the magic of coaching comes in. In my private one-on-one coaching program.
โThe Shift 2.0โ we stack days and accountability to make success inevitable.
Retreats
This is Donny speaking hereโฆ THESE ARE THE BEST. And they just keep getting better and better. Your vibe attracts your vibe, and the type of people both leading and attending are the best.
All facilitators are masters at holding space, and super high vibrational. So get ready to feel the power of the collective in a safe space.
Many of my retreats moving forward will be smaller, more intimate (6-12) max and have a couple epic spaces in Sedona, Tulum, Whistler and many more.

Let The People Speak
Donny helped me ease my mind in ways I could never imagine. I was able to deal with all that comes with a stressful life in the NFL. It started with taking one breath, from there I was able to control not only my thoughts but my feelings.
- Tyrann Matheiu // NFL Defensive Back
I was suffering from a terrible breakup and lost hope and interest in life. The tools and support Donny supplied me with not only helped me get through the depression but gave me my energy back along with igniting new passions within.
- Audrey // Portland, OR
I am so grateful for Donnyโs guidance and coaching. Working with him these past few months, diving deeper, and becoming more mindful, has been such a gift. A gift that has brought, THE SHIFT, within me and in my life. I am truly forever grateful.
