Susan turned to yoga as an alternative health treatment after being diagnosed with an arthritic condition so rapidly progressive doctors predicted she would be unable to walk. When years of practice not only cured her condition but reversed the effects of it, she began to understand yoga’s enormous impact and potential on one’s physical and mental health.
As well as cultivating her Yoga Therapy practice and teaching weekly Hatha, Yin and Meditation classes, Susan is the in-house Yoga Therapist for both Treloar Physiotherapy Clinic and Semperviva Yoga.
A former actor and internationally exhibited artist, Susan began focusing on a career in yoga after 15 years of practice. She began her 1st formal training in India and concluded her 2nd training in Vancouver.
She is a founding member of the Santa Fe Buddhist Society and her interest in meditation led her to Tibet for two months of intensive exploration.
She holds a BFA from Ryerson University and studied Psychology at York University.
Her love of travel has taken her to Nepal, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Laos, China, England, Mexico, Italy, Greece, Spain, Malaysia, Portugal, and Columbia.
Susan has studied with world-renowned doctors, therapists and teachers; Richard Miller, Joseph lePage, Timothy Mccall, Dean Ornish, Doug Kellar, Leslie Kaminoff, Rolf Gates, Dharma Mitra, Amy Weintraub and Sarah Powers.
Susan is currently feeding her insatiable passion for learning by completing her 1000hr Yoga Therapy certification.
Susan believes that within each of us is the inherent desire and ability to heal; we simply need to acquire the tools.
