Suzanne found the true value of yoga while searching for relief from severe back pain. She discovered the healing and strengthening aspects of yoga to be clearly evident. The results were so amazing that she felt drawn to become a yoga instructor in order to share the beauty and healing power of the asanas to help others explore yoga’s curative benefits for themselves. The stars aligned and Suzanne found the teacher’s training course and her yoga home at the Glowing Body in 2015. After graduating from the program, Suzanne was thrilled to start teaching at the Glowing Body in 2016.
Her teaching style focuses on deep breathing paired with flowing body movements to help anyone move more gracefully through BKS Iyengar’s principles of alignment. Her desire is to help students to better understand and develop their own proprioception as well as fulfill their personal yoga goals.
Suzanne enjoys incorporating her musical background into her yoga practice by creating soundscapes that evoke desired feelings and moods in her yoga classes. She believes in the power of rhythm to move your body, sooth your soul, find your spiritual center and connect to your breath for a deeper yogic experience.
Suzanne has a background as a dancer, classical pianist, holds a BS in Communications, School of Broadcasting from University of Tennessee; she has worked in advertising, owned & operated Suzi’s Groovy Garden in Bearden and worked as a Realtor in Knoxville. She enjoys gardening, growing and cooking healthy food, loving her two black dogs and riding her motorcycle with her husband and friends as much as humanly possible.
