Suzanne’s passion for teaching yoga is based on her own recovery from chronic pain and numbness. Her life completely turned around as she encountered a combination of Yoga asana, related movement modalities, and mindfulness that reached far beyond the physical. A passionate practitioner of therapeutic, alignment-focused yoga, Suzanne has spent thousands of hours over the past decade guiding students to an active understanding of their own body and mind complex.

Suzanne’s deep understanding of human movement, anatomy, and how we can recover our innate strength-based ease in the various body regions, informs all her teaching, whether it is a Hatha, Vinyasa, or Anusara class. Her classes often center on classical peak poses, to which she guides students using a step-by-step approach, intelligent sequencing and clear instructions. Besides other Yoga poses, Suzanne makes use of a wide range of tools, from Physiotherapy, Kinesiology and Mobility Training, Martial Arts, Dance, and more, to prepare the body and make even the most challenging poses accessible. Ultimately, peak poses are not the goal - they are a means to the end of ‘liberating’ specific areas of the body and mind and connecting us to our innate freedom and intelligence. Besides fun, ‘aha’ moments and sweaty options, students can expect individual guidance and effective strategies to reverse common imbalances; they can expect to stay safe as well as having the opportunity to push their own boundaries to experience growth, both physically and mentally.
