Check Out Jessalynn Hakanson’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jessalynn Hakanson.

Hi jessalynn, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Donelson Hot Yoga began with Kim Corwin in 2018. After a long career as a professional dancer, she understood the importance of maintaining a working relationship with your body, mind, and spirit. A year later, Jessalynn Hakanson began working with Kim to develop immersive Teacher Trainings and adding to the studio’s offerings. In 2024 Kim asked for Jessalynn to engage in full ownership of the studio with devotion and care. Today, Donelson Hot Yoga is a community of heart forward human beings and place where people of all bodies, ages, and backgrounds come to share in their passions for yoga, whole health, and community spirit.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
True to my human form there can be struggle in the juggle; and the beauty and grace of the community and yoga practice that softens and smooths out all the edges.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
The Warmth and heart of this community lights up Donelson with compassion, big love , and grace abounds.

What was your favorite childhood memory?
Overalls that made me smile, log cabins, sprinkles of farm life, and dune buggy rides that sparked the best giggles.
