Studio 108 is the culmination of a lifelong journey rooted in wellness, service, and deep community connections. Founded by Katherine McDonnell, a longtime Stratham resident, the studio’s mission is to offer a space for healing and personal transformation through yoga and Pilates.
Katherine’s path to yoga began in 2002, when she discovered the transformative power of the practice. As a mother, she sought a way to nurture herself amidst the busyness of raising her children. Her journey led her to incredible teachers and many years of study in various styles of yoga. The sense of connection she found on the mat, not just to herself but to others, sparked a deep passion for creating spaces that foster community, growth, and well-being.
Starting in her husband’s family farmhouse under the name Evergreen Yoga, Katherine created a warm and welcoming environment for her students. Now, with a deepened mission and a broadened scope, she is thrilled to bring Studio 108 to life—a space where the practice of yoga and Pilates is elevated to new heights with state-of-the-art equipment, including a focus on Hot Yoga and Reformer Pilates. But the essence of her work remains unchanged: to build a strong, supportive community where every student and teacher not only thrive, but sparkle.
At Studio 108, our commitment goes beyond just providing excellent classes. Katherine’s dedication to teacher well-being, education, and fair compensation ensures that our instructors are supported and empowered, which in turn elevates the quality of instruction for all students. With her extensive training and certifications—including Hatha Yoga, Barkan Method Hot Yoga, Reformer Pilates, Trauma-Informed Yoga, and more—Katherine brings years of wisdom and a deep love for both the practice and the people she serves.
Our studio is more than just a place to practice—it’s a community where connection, empathy, and personal growth flourish. Whether you are new to Hot Yoga or Pilates, or a seasoned practitioner, Studio 108 offers a space where you can find joy, healing, and strength—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
We invite you to join us as we embark on this new chapter in our journey of wellness, connection, and growth. Welcome to Studio 108, come sparkle with us!
