Meet Susanne
“Susanne is a wonderful teacher – she has a lovely calm and nurturing quality. What I particularly like is her attention to detail, verbal instructions and demonstrations, allowing you to fully benefit from the postures you are guided through. I always leave feeling an inch taller and completely de-stressed.”
Sarah Lockhart-Martin
I first discovered yoga while at University in 2001. After years of exploring various styles including Hatha, Vinyasa Flow and Iyengar yoga, I decided to train as a teacher in the hope of sharing with others the vast and profound benefits of a regular practice I had discovered along the way.
Travelling to the birthplace of yoga to undertake my training, I studied with Noah McKenna in Mysore, India.
I teach Hatha yoga for both beginners and experienced students. I would say my teaching style combines the fluidity and meditative qualities of a Vinyasa Flow class but with the mindful precision of traditional classical Hatha yoga. I also teach Yoga Nidra meditation for deep relaxation.
I am extremely passionate about the therapeutic value of yoga and making it a practice open to everyone. I believe that everybody deserves to feel joyfully happy in their own body, and that our minds are capable of a degree of peace and serenity, happiness and ease which is far, far greater than we have ever been taught to desire or expect.
I believe that yoga is one of many pathways to wholeness, health, vitality and true contentment and that it is one of the most potent and powerful ones.
