\nI’m grateful to my students for allowing me to share these comments and photos.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIn my first class a classmate said, \u2018This is my happy place.\u2019 Surrounded by people I didn\u2019t know, with numerous physical\u00a0and medical issues, about to do something foreign to me, and worried I\u2019d fail miserably, I had no idea what she could have meant. Now I do.\u00a0Thursday<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0yoga class is now my happy place. Once a week, I find myself in a safe space where, for about 1.5 hours, I don’t feel judged. I actually forget while I\u2019m in class how much I have grown to dislike my body, and have even found moments where I\u2019ve been able to appreciate bits and pieces of myself. If you are considering signing up for Susan\u2019s class, I highly encourage you to do so. You\u2019ll find a community of supportive humans who want the best for you. And I bet your weekly Curvy Yoga class will become your happy place too.\u201d\u00a0\u2013Gretchen P<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI have just come from a wonderful yoga class taught by Susan. Lovely rhythm, joy and twinkle in her eyes.\u00a0 Several variations given with each pose, easily, concisely, and helpfully.\u00a0 A pleasure to partake in her gift of teaching!\u00a0 Thank you Susan.\u201d\u00a0\u2013Kirk<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI started my yoga practice at 65 and have enjoyed it immensely! Susan is an incredible teacher. She is kind, caring and intuitive. The community that has been created in each of the classes is so special and unique, I have met many strong wonderful women and plan on continuing yoga for many years to come!\u201d \u2013Sally M<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI am starting my fourth year of Curvy Yoga, twice a week. If anyone really knows me, they know I don\u2019t much like exercise of any kind. That being said, I LOVE Susan’s classes! I have spinal issues and since starting her classes, I have less pain. As long as Susan teaches these classes and I\u2019m able, I’ll attend!!! Thank you Susan!\u201d \u2013Sandy D<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cYour class is the first time IN MY LIFE that I am able to be present and stop hating my body or doing negative self talk. I am SO very grateful to Curvy Yoga, to you and to the class.\u201d \u2013Amy Lee<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so many things I like about Susan\u2019s class! It\u2019s great that no matter what size a person may be or what physical limitations one might have, this class is accepting and helpful to all. Having props is a bonus, but Susan’s understanding of how to use them is most comforting. It\u2019s a class with no pressure but rather acceptance for all.\u201d \u2013Deb C<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSusan is able to spot the smallest grimace on my face or wobble in my third left toe, and she\u2019ll immediately offer a modification that will make each pose safe for my body. Not only does she have years of experience, but she is a beautiful human who is unafraid to be vulnerable. I am so thankful I landed in Susan\u2019s class.\u201d \u2013Gretchen P<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSusan\u2019s Curvy Yoga classes are works of art.\u00a0 I am continually amazed by the way Susan crafts each class carefully, with attention to the details that integrate the poses with themes \u2014\u00a0such as gratitude and self-compassion \u2014\u00a0so that each piece of the class fits seamlessly with the others to create a beautifully woven cloth of yoga practice.\u201d \u2013Deborah S<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI am absolutely in love with this Curvy Yoga class. It\u2019s the one moment in my busy week that I can truly make time for myself. Susan is a wonderful teacher who instills a sense of peace into her students and makes them look forward to coming each week. Susan is very patient, kind, and non-judgmental. She pushes each person to be the best version of themselves and complete each exercise in a way that is comfortable for their bodies. Not only is Susan a great teacher, but the fellow students are also fantastic. Everyone is supportive and inclusive, and I felt like a part of the group as soon as I entered. I look forward to continuing my journey with this wonderful group.\u201d \u2013Julia T.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe beginning and ending class meditations are something I particularly like because my brain never shuts up and it is good to remind me that, with a little effort, it can actually happen! The people that attend the class are all wonderful and really supportive of each other, not only in our class environment but in our personal lives as well.\u201d \u2013Deb C<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a>\u201cWhen I started in Curvy Yoga last year, I didn\u2019t think I could get down to the floor, much less back up. Now, not only can I get up and down from the floor (!!) I feel SO much better. I can do so many little things that I had stopped doing years ago: get on my hands and knees to look for something under a bed; bend forward to put conditioner on the ends of my hair; even stretch \u2018just because it feels good\u2019 while stuck at my desk for hours. I can even squat and pee in the woods if I need to! I can\u2019t begin to express how grateful I am for your class, your gentleness, and your encouragement. It quite literally has changed my life.\u201d\u00a0\u2013Linda P<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
