Yoga is a discipline developed in India about 5000 years ago. The word
“Yoga” translates to “Union” and the ultimate goal is full unity of the
Self through a connection between body, mind, and spirit. It is a practice
that incorporates focused breathing, meditation, and physical postures.
Susan focuses on all of these yogic aspects during her classes, trying to
balance the physical aspects with the meditative.
Susan believes strongly in the power of yoga to relieve
mental and emotional stress, allowing students to find peace and comfort
within themselves.
Stress can manifest itself in the body as physical ailments such as high
blood pressure, heart disease, migraines, asthma, and digestive problems,
as well as mental ailments such as depression, anxiety and insomnia.
Through meditation and relaxation techniques, the body can begin to heal
itself. This is the main focus of Susan’s classes, incorporating postures
that improve the body’s flexibility and strength.
