About Suzanna
Suzanna's journey with yoga began in her teenage years, but it wasn't until the pandemic that she fully embraced the practice. Recognizing the profound impact of a consistent yoga routine on her peace of mind and resilience, she decided to deepen her commitment.
Enrolling in a 200-hour Hatha yoga teacher training became Suzanna's way of holding herself accountable, satiating her growing thirst for yogic knowledge, and learning to share this supportive practice with others safely. The transformative experience of her initial training kindled a profound connection with herself, prompting her to pursue advanced teacher training with Cloud 9 Yoga immediately after graduation. In October 2023, she proudly earned her Registered Yoga Teacher 500-hour (RYT500) certification.
Suzanna passionately believes in the holistic benefits of a regular yoga practice for physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. She sees it as a tool to enhance our ability to navigate life's challenges and be present for ourselves and others. Her classes, influenced by traditional Hatha and breathwork, as well as guided meditation, reflect her unique personality and yoga journey. Whether you're a novice or an experienced yogi, Suzanna's classes are thoughtfully designed to meet you where you are.
In Suzanna's classes, students can anticipate a warm, nonjudgmental, and inclusive atmosphere, inviting them to connect with themselves. Beyond yoga, Suzanna is a proud mother and devoted spouse, serving as a communications professional at a sustainability-focused nonprofit. She is also an NLP Somatic Coach®.
