Susan's curiosity about yoga as a fluid, nourishing practice and dynamic movement meditation brought her to the mat in 1996, propelled her to seek her teaching certification in 2005, and led her to creating a yoga sanctuary as a studio owner in 2009. Susan offers her students a beautiful Prana Vinyasa yoga practice complemented by meditation, mantra, and MUSIC!. Her primary vision for her teaching is to create an authentic experience for her students, to truly help them to listen and respond organically to the cues from their body, and flow into a deeper connection with their highest selves.
Susan's style of teaching is most influenced by Shiva Rea, her root teacher, and she completed her advanced 500-hr training in Prana Vinyasa Flow™ with her teacher, having already received a primary 200-hr vinyasa training at Yoga West of Houston in 2005. Susan was drawn to Prana Vinyasa's fluid, organic, and grounded style of yoga, and the beautiful feeling state, or bhava, that she experiences after teaching each class. She has also trained with Dr. Vasant Lad, Rod Stryker, Max Strom, Sally Kempton, Eric Small, Sherry Brourman, Doug Keller and Jnani Chapman.
Susan received mantra and sanskrit training from the late Thomas Ashley Farrand, and as an accomplished singer and musician, she has been honored to provide vocal and harmonium accompaniment for the internationally celebrated kirtan musician, Girish, for several of his concerts here in Kansas City. She provides live music for all of her classes, and released her first yoga CD, "RELEASE", in 2013. She feels blessed to combine music and yoga in bhakti service to our Yoga Liberty students, and pays homage to her teachers and guides that have brought her to this beautiful yogic journey. Much love, pranams, and a heart overflowing with Gratitude!
