Hi - I’m Susannah, but most people know me as Susie.
I’m a Bedfordshire-based yoga teacher (Leighton Buzzard to be exact) and I’m passionate about helping people transform their health and wellbeing through yoga.
When I first discovered yoga I had no idea how disconnected I was from myself. On the outside I was thriving.
On the inside, however, things often felt out of control. I didn’t take care of myself and often neglected my physical and emotional needs…
a little bit about me
discovering yoga
I was always curious about yoga, but didn’t go to a class until a hot Bikram studio opened just round the corner from me. I dragged my husband along with me, neither of us having any idea what to expect.
I’ll never forget that first yoga class, and how everything just seemed to click.
Here was a practice that not only supported my physical goals and made me feel great, but it provided me with the tools to take care of my mental and emotional wellbeing too.
For the first time I learnt how to breathe – in a way that dramatically transformed how I felt, and created a bridge for me to explore my inner world…
learning to thrive
Over time, I began to notice just how differently I felt in myself. There was a new freedom in my physical body, and I felt stronger and healthier than ever.
I found it much easier to cope with challenges in my life, and instead of drowning in overwhelm or reactivity I could manage my feelings better.
I began to recognise that living life in autopilot wasn’t what I wanted.
Cue big, dramatic life moment - I quit my job, booked a flight to Thailand and embarked on a yoga teacher training in early 2015…
living my yoga
I’ve now been teaching for ten years, but yoga is about so much more than a job. It is woven through every part of my life.
I’m now a mother to two beautiful children, and yoga has given me the tools to navigate my beautifully messy journey through motherhood.
The teachings of yoga help to keep me grounded, rooted and connected in a busy life that can sometimes feel chaotic and overwhelming. I live in the real world of raising two children and juggling work as both a yoga teacher and copywriter.
And that’s exactly why yoga has been such an anchor for me. It’s become my greatest companion to navigate life, giving me the physical, mental and emotional tools to take care of myself…
practice with me
My sessions are down-to-earth, accessible and inspire growth. My approach is modern and backed by science, and I apply the ancient teachings of yoga in a way that makes sense to our modern lives.
My intention is provide yoga classes that promote growth, whatever that may look like for you.
I’ve taken 400+hrs of trainings, studied with some amazing teachers, and am forever a student of yoga.
I’d love to guide you in your practice.
why choose me?
In all the time I’ve been practicing and teaching yoga I can confidently say that my love for the practice has never dimmed.
I’m fun, passionate, down-to-earth and real. I don’t have any expectations on who comes to my classes – how flexible you are, what you wear or how experienced you are in yoga. All I care is that you come exactly as you are.
I can’t wait to meet you in class!
