What keeps you from stepping onto your mat?

Hi, I’m Susan, a certified and registered yoga teacher and a certified Pilates teacher. Pictured above is me with our family pet, Lager, a Goldendoodle. Lager and I are a therapy team and visit various venues around town.

I received my 200-hour yoga teacher training from Your Yoga Flow (formerly Yogacara Global) in the beautiful country of Costa Rica. I also completed my 300-hour advanced training from Your Yoga Flow. For me, yoga is about creating space. From my immersion training in Costa Rica, it was on a meditative nature walk that I noted how nature takes up space. If a plant wanted to grow from a tree, it just grew, and the tree made space, and the plant made space. As in life, we are created to “take up space.” Life has a purpose, and through yoga, connecting breath and body movement, space is made. I enjoy teaching gentle yoga to beginners, working on flexibility, balance, and strength. Students have commented that they find my calming voice relaxing and my cueing easy to understand.

Off my mat, I love to travel, take long walks, try my hand at gardening, and spend time on the golf course.

Testimonials

An experienced teacher you can trust

Being a 500-hour registered yoga teacher means that I have completed the most advanced yoga teacher training. I have taught in yoga studios, online, at conferences, corporate yoga, retreats, and teach private yoga clients.

Here are a few testimonials:

From Stephanie: “Not all yoga teachers should teach yoga and not all yogis are zen! Susan is the BEST yoga instructor with the PERFECT balance of wisdom, physicality, meditation, and expertise! She creates a space of safety and warmth for beginners and challenges those who have been around yoga for a while. It is a GIFT to be in her presence and receive her instruction! You will be glad you chose Susan as your guide - she is so much more than the physical demands of the practice. She is true to yoga as a spiritual and personal journey!! What a gift!”

From Rhonda: “Susan is an amazing yoga instructor. I highly recommend her.”

From Christy: “Susan led yoga sessions at a retreat I attended. I haven’t practiced yoga for a few years and Susan showed our group each yoga pose and offered modifications based on attendees abilities. Her yoga routines, music choices, meditation sequence, and calming voice were the perfect addition to our retreat. Thank you Susan!”
