1.1 ATHA YOGA ANUSHASANAM
now begins the study of yoga
Hi! I'm Susan. Thank you so much for visiting my site. It is my honor to share this practice. My intention is to always meet the student where they are, and as such always remain the student myself.
My yoga journey began 10 years ago with sun salutations. I practiced them again and again on my own simply because it was a short enough sequence for a beginner to remember. Doing very little gave me structure, and I liked not worrying too much about anything but breathing. It was a relief to not be faced with the constant decision of what poses to do next when I was on my own. An awareness in my practice, beyond my physical body, developed slowly. I began to know my true nature, beyond the ever changing states of the mind.
I met my first teacher while I was an English teacher in Thailand in 2013. P Noi introduced me to asana, pranayama, and yoga philosophy. She inspired me to seek a 200 hour teaching certificate which I did in 2017 in Rishikesh, India at Nada Yoga School. I began practicing Aṣṭāṅga in 2019 and received my 500 hour specializing in Aṣṭāṅga Yoga in 2022 from The Heart of Yoga School. My latest study brought me to the home of Aṣṭāṅga Yoga in Mysuru, India to practice with Paramaguru Sharath Jois. I've learned in all these years that yoga can be applied in so many ways and is much more than a physical practice. Yoga is the only real teacher of yoga, and for most of us it is the physical body that can open the door to the inner realm.
Sunday 9:15-10:45 AM Ashtanga Guided Primary*
In this class, you will practice the complete Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga from beginning to end. We will keep with the traditional pace of the practice by following the traditional Sanskrit count. This class is appropriate for students whom have practiced Ashtanga Yoga before.
*Virtual Option Available
Monday (**NEW TIME** and starts 3/11/24)
Thursday 9:30-10:30AM Ashtanga 1/2 Primary
This is a great class to stretch, as well as build balance and strength. Ashtanga is the original Power & Vinyasa. The tristhana method of breath, bandhas, and drishti invigorate the body and mind. We will cover most of the primary series in this hour. The poses are linked together with each breath counted out, and over time with committing this series to memory, it becomes a moving meditation. It is great for levels!
Monday 12-1 PM Flow*
Wednesday 9-10 AM Flow*
Flow yoga classes are based on Vinyasa yoga (translates to “moving with breath”) which is a dynamic style of Hatha yoga joining physical postures, or asanas, with inhales and exhales, creating a steady internal rhythm for the practice. The Flow classes are designed to cultivate heat in the body with creative sequences with a strong focus on the power of breath awareness.
