I have been teaching Yoga for 40 years. and have studied Yoga and other movement modalities from many wonderful teachers over the years.

My primary teacher for study of Hatha Yoga in the lineage of B.K.S. Iyengar has been the internationally renowned Ramanand Patel. Ramanand, trained as a civil engineer, instilled her  with an understanding of sound structure and movement in the Yoga postures.

In 1987, I was fortunate to be in a group with Ramanand and 20 of his students in a 3-week intensive training at the Iyengar Institute in Pune, India.  Iyengar’s daughter, Geeta was the main teacher for the 3 weeks, but Iyengar himself was very much in the room, and he would not hesitate to jump in at any time to drive home a point in his powerful and rather intimidating style. I have studied with other fine Yoga teachers, such as Kofi Busia, Judith Lasater, and Doug Keller.  Additionally, Moshe Feldenkrais’ Awareness Through Movement deeply influences my process of learning and teaching.

The most important thing is to just wear comfortable clothes that you can move easily in. Many people like to wear semi-form fitting or form-fitting clothing. This is because we do poses standing, sitting, on our stomachs and on our backs and sometimes upside down, so sometimes tops may slip down or if you may step on your pants is your clothing is too lose. 

Besides in-person classes & workshops, Susan offers Zoom classes.  Your body can enjoy a class wherever you are. She also has classes up on YouTube. 

Susan loves to teach those new to yoga.  She teaches with very detailed descriptions and gives beginners easier options for the poses.  They’ll be a class for beginners on the schedule soon. Susan would love to give you a half-hour free private session to get you going.  Feel free to call, text, or email Susan
