200-hr Yoga Instructor
Suzanne has taken fitness classes throughout her adult life. In 2010, she joined a strength and conditioning gym with the goal of increasing her strength with weights. She started taking some of the many different classes offered, including yoga. Suzanne loved the way yoga made her feel and began to consistently practice in 2012. Her fitness goals changed such that she was taking weight classes to get stronger for yoga, and learning challenging body positions including arm balances and shoulder stands.
She helped to bring yoga instructors into her workplace. This was a success for a year plus until the instructors were no longer available. At that point Suzanne decided to become an instructor, since she’d created a following at her workplace.
Suzanne started her yoga teacher training journey by taking a two-day YogaFit class. This allowed her to start teaching at her workplace in September, 2017. After deciding that she wanted to pursue more training, Suzanne completed a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training with a Pittsburgh, PA based company called Amazing Yoga in March, 2019. Suzanne then continued her training journey with YogaFit, and completed a second 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in October, 2020.
In November 2023, she went on a hike with a Windsoul member who raved about the center. She attended a class with her the next day and joined after class. She has been substitute teaching since then and is excited to join the staff as a regular instructor and to share her joy of yoga.
