She also teaches a variety of metaphysical classes through the year.
After practicing yoga for many years and experiencing the benefits that a consistent yoga practice offers, Susan decided to pursue yoga teacher training. Susan’s passion for teaching yoga is fueled by the belief that yoga is a practice and anyone can practice yoga, regardless of size, shape or age.
