About Yoga
Yoga originated in ancient India as a spiritual practice of self-enquiry. The teachings of Classical Yoga address the causes of human suffering and suggest that freedom from suffering is possible if the distracted mind can be brought to stillness.
Modern yoga offers a practice based on ethical principles and grounded in the wisdom of the body moving and breathing. Yoga teaches self-awareness and allows us to free ourselves from negative patterns that cause pain and frustration.
Practising yoga brings many benefits: greater strength, suppleness, and stamina; reduced anxiety and stress; a capacity for stillness and peace of mind. Yoga is not a dogmatic system and people of many faith traditions and none find yoga invaluable in their spiritual journey towards simplicity and peace.
Yoga
Susan’s classes combine attention to detail with a student-centred approach, helping each individual towards a deeper understanding of the connections between body, breath, mind and emotions. The choice of practices and use of props where necessary make her classes accessible to all, regardless of age or ability.

Meditation
In meditation we draw the senses of perception inwards and focus the mind on a single object; moving from the business of the external world to the still, spacious, silence within.
