“ I have taken Susan’s classes for awhile now and her instruction has had a huge impact on me. Her classes are so peaceful yet work my body. I feel so fulfilled after a class I can’t even explain it. Susan has a gift you don’t find very often and her massages at the end of class complete the experience. Thank you Susan for sharing your gift with all of us!”
-L.J., Vernon Hills, IL

“I began my yoga journey 4 years ago and was blessed to have Susan as my first yoga instructor! She inspired me to continue my practice since and I give her much credit for my learning and understanding of yoga! Susan, you are my yoga angel! Thank you!!!”
-Sheri C, Deerfield, IL

“When my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, she began a healing yoga class with Susan as part of her treatment regime. Susan’s wisdom and spirit lifted us up when we needed it. Her classes gave us all strength, both physically and emotionally. They continue to lift us up and help us grow- months and months later. Susan gives meaning to the yoga poses and puts the practice into a context that makes each class much more than a simple exercise session. We’ve grown together as a group of family and friends—Susan has become part of our family and friends- and we actually do some real poses! Monday night yoga has become a weekly ritual that we are all dedicated to. My 14 yr. old daughter says “I don’t just love yoga- I need it!” We all feel the same way and will keep working with Susan for as long as we can!”
-Harriet S. , television executive, Chicago, IL

“My husband, my two girls, and I have taken private yoga family classes with Susan. She is phenomenally knowledgeable, extremely soothing, and has incredible patience. She knows how to teach in a way that is non-threatening, motivating, and energizing. We all walk away from her class feeling rejuvenated, stronger, and more at peace with our bodies, our minds, and our souls. We love you Susan!!”

“Susan came into my life at a very meaningful time… our yoga practice has helped me get through chemotherapy, surgery, and recovery in so many ways. I love the yoga and lessons Susan inspires at each of our sessions. Thanks Susan and namaste.
-Mimi H, pre-school teacher, Highland Park, IL

“I never thought yoga would challenge me the way it did. I run and do weight conditioning 5 days a week and always felt like I was in decent condition. Each week in Susan’s yoga class I was challenged with a new position, breathing technique, or exercise. It was a fantastic workout -not to mention fun. Also, after years of walking around with my children attached to my hip, I thought my back would never get better. Susan did specific things to stretch my back and lo and behold, my back STOPPED aching! Thanks, Susan, for changing my life.”
-Trudy F, Chicago, IL

“The peacefulness of Susan’s voice and the tempo of the music took me to a place that I looked forward to every week.”
-Gayle, mom who O.D.’s on volunteering, Highland Park, IL

“I can honestly say that taking yoga with Susan allowed me to actually feel full relaxation and calmness for the first time in my life. Having a stressful job and 3 kids, it is not often that I take a moment to take care of me. Susan taught me not only how to do this in yoga, but to find that time during a routine day as well.”
-Debbie G, marital/family therapist, Buffalo Grove, IL

“Susan is a wonderful teacher as well as a special caring woman. I was a skeptic when it came to yoga, until a close friend of mine decided to hold classes in her home. She has some health issues and to help her with them, I decided to partake in the class. To my surprise, I began to love yoga. I owe that all to Susan. I now take yoga not because of my friend, but for myself. Thank you, Susan for making me a believer in yoga and teaching me to take time out of my busy day for myself!”
-Debbi R., teacher, Highland Park, IL

“ I don’t know what I would do without my yoga and Susan. She truly makes it fun and relaxing while getting a great mind and body workout. Susan’s kind smile lights up the room.”
-Claire E, dental hygienist, IL

“I am currently a yoga instructor and have taken several of Susan’s classes where I work. I also hired her to teach at a facility where I am a fitness manager. She is not only a wonderful person to know, but probably one of the most inspirational teachers I have had the pleasure to work with as a student. I have been able to deepen my yoga practice and have learned new teaching skills thanks to her dedication. Susan is a gracious spirit who wears her ‘heart’ on her sleeve. You could not ask for a better yoga teacher or friend!”
-Debby B, Northbrook, IL

"You are the best and most inspiring Yogi I know. Studying with you was and continues to be an amazing journey- your dedication and commitment to your personal yogic journey inspires me still, seven years later. I am honored to know you and truly blessed that we are friends.”
-Faye, Palatine, IL

“If you are looking for a class where you are encouraged to set your purpose, concentrate on your breathing, and take each pose to your limit, then look no further. Susan is instructive when needed, supportive always. Her classes are non-competitive; wherever you are that day is where you are supposed to be. I have been taking her classes for 3 years. Each week I leave feeling refreshed, balanced, and energized.”
-Heather, Highland Park, IL

“Susan is an extraordinary human being with the ability to connect and nurture people from all backgrounds and levels. Her classes will heal you from the inside out emotionally, spiritually and physically.”
-Julie, yoga instructor, Buffalo Grove IL

Susan has been my inspiration for yoga since the first time I stepped into her home studio. Her spirituality, ability to "captivate her audience" and her wealth of knowledge has kept me coming back for 3 years and counting! Her classes are well thought out, always different, and meet the needs of yoginis at various levels. Susan is an amazing teacher whose classes are written in red on my calendar...I've even canceled deliveries to be sure not to miss a class! Yes, her classes are THAT important!

-Sharyl F., mom of 2, former school teacher, current yogini. Deerfield, IL
