Susan finds great comfort in approaching her yoga practice as a devotion – to loved ones, to teachers, to the lessons of life. She loves to encourage her students to discover their own sense of devotion and creativity in the flow. She teaches with compassion, creating an environment where students of all levels feel comfortable.

Susan began her yoga journey in 1998 and has been teaching vinyasa and gentle yoga since completing her 200-hour teacher training in 2005. Her teaching style is greatly influenced by Shiva Rea, with whom she completed a 300-hour Prana Flow teacher training program in California in 2009. 

Susan credits Shiva for teaching her how to dance and to feel at home in her body. She continues to study with Shiva and serves as a mentor to new teacher trainees in Shiva’s program. Susan is also trained in Pre/Post Natal yoga through Shiva Rea and is a Relax and Renew Certified Instructor w/ Judith Lasater. 

Susan treasures her time at home with her husband and two children. She teaches at a local yoga studio and privately, and designs her own line of yoga jewelry inspired by the beautiful language of Sanskrit.
