Stress can manifest itself in the body as physical, mental and emotional ailments. Through meditation and relaxation techniques, the body can begin to heal itself. This is the primary focus of Susan’s classes, incorporating postures that improve the body’s flexibility and strength, as well as breathing exercises and meditations that calm the mind and allow students to begin their quest for self-knowledge and transformation to a happier and healthier being. Susan Winkler has been studying yoga for over 20 years, gaining her teaching certification through the 700-hour teacher-training program at Soma Centre in 2000. The teacher training program included yoga asanas, pranayama, and meditation, as well as yoga philosophy, Bhagavad Gita, Vedanta, and Yoga Sutras. She continued her studies under the tutelage of Amita Shankar, a renowned yoga teacher from The Yoga Institute in Mumbai. Amita is a student of Swami Dayananda Saraswati, the revered traditional teacher of Vedanta. Susan has made several trips to study at The Yoga Institute in Mumbai with Doctor and Hansaji Yogendra. She continues her philosophy studies today with Guruji Divyang Vakil, diving into the understanding of the true soul, with a focus on death and dying. Sue also offers coaching, bringing her Psychology degree and Mindfulness studies together to provide support and structure to help you on your transformational journey!
