Introduction: The Joy is in the Journey

In 1996 I found yoga...or I should say it found me, after suffering for nine months straight with chronic abdominal pain. It later turned out to be IBS, but through the long journey of putting a name to what I had, yoga was my saving grace. It eased my pain, making it possible for me to function normally. And it brought a new sense of calm and relaxation to my stressed life. It was very much like coming home to my body for the very first time. I share this story with you to describe how my yogic journey began as a therapeutic approach to stress and pain.

I am so thrilled to be collaborating with Keri and taking on the role of Yoga Specialist for Radiant Fitness. We'll be able to offer you more private sessions and yoga classes in more locations, making yoga accessible for you to experience the class that works for you the best.

My approach to teaching yoga is how I like to practice yoga...by bringing a beginner's perspective, being creative and allowing the energy bring about transformation. With compassion and a passion for teaching, I create classes that are warm, friendly and safe to explore your own personal practice.

Well, that's a little about me for now, more will come later, so stay tuned and hold that pose. We're working hard to develop some great classes for you. Until then, just breathe....

Your Yoga Specialist,

Susan
