| Susan Meyer (Isha), E-RYT 500 " Health is wealth. Peace of mind is happiness. Yoga shows the way." - Swami Vishnu Devananda A self-proclaimed "yoga mutt," Susan draws from a variety of yoga traditions, blending Ashtanga, Jivamukti, Sivananda and Vinyasa to create her own signature teaching style. She teaches all aspects of yoga, asana, pranayama, relaxation and meditation and encourages all of her students to do something good for themselves everyday. Susan's classes are invigorating and challenging. They are never too serious, and they always support individual differences. Susan is a devoted and enthusiastic student of Hatha Yoga. After her initial certification in Sivananda yoga, she continues to study and is especially grateful to her first teachers, Neela Robinson, Dharma Mittra and Erich Schiffmann. In 1998 Susan adopted Ashtanga yoga as her personal practice, which led to her studies with Richard Freeman, Lino Miele, Dena Kingsberg and John Scott. She also takes classes from Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in New York City and attends several workshops every year, most notably with David Life, Sharon Gannon and Cyndi Lee. Time alone on the mat is her best teacher. Susan and her husband, Jim, recently moved to Minneapolis after living in Washington, DC for 20 years and teaching yoga for 15 years. Things that Make Her Happy 1) Good Yoga 2) Good Friends 3) Good Food Favorite pose: Savasana... as defined by B.K.S. Iyengar in Light on Yoga "....By remaining motionless for some time and keeping the mind still while fully conscious, you learn to relax. This conscious relaxation invigorates and refreshes both body and mind. But it is much harder to keep the mind than the body still. Therefore, this apparently easy posture is one of the most difficult to master." Back to Instructors & Staff Info page |
