Susan began practicing and studying yoga in 2001, and completed her 200 hour teacher training in 2003. Shortly after she began practicing, Susan found she was pregnant with her first child. She continued practicing not only through her first pregnancy, but throughout her second as well. She had two wonderful experiences, and now enjoys her two great children. Trying to balance a consistent practice with the demands of parenthood has been a challenge. She has learned that 'yoga' isn't merely about the pose; sometimes it is easier to yoke the mind, body, and spirit on the mat, yet the real challenges await outside the yoga studio, often in our own homes, as we strive to balance all that life proffers. Susan tries to create a fun environment in her classes, as we all tend to take the rest of life a bit too seriously more often than not. Outside of the yoga studio, Susan enjoys riding her bike, backpacking, and is working on a Master's Degree at UNR in Speech-Language Pathology. 

     “I love how my practice makes me feel, and am happy to have the opportunity to share this feeling with others through teaching. If you're thinking of exploring yoga, I encourage the journey. It is well worth your time.”
