About organizer

Susan started practicing yoga after a back injury and has been been teaching for 16 years.

She has a B.A in Psychology and an MSc in Neuroscience. The alignment of Iyengar informs her teaching and Susan teaches a Slow Flow Vinyasa, SATYA (sensory awareness training for yoga asana) which is a restorative practice lying on your back, front and sides, Mindfulness Meditation, Yoga Nidra and Restorative Yoga. Sue offers a restorative class which combines the somatics of SATYA with Yoga Nidra. She also teaches SUP (stand up paddle board) yoga.
