In-School Sessions
"Having Suzanne come into our grade 9 health classes was a great experience for our students. For many of our students it was their first attempt at yoga and it was a fantastic start to an activity that may become lifelong for them." - Kathy, P.E. Teacher
“Having Suzanne teach yoga to our students has been exceptional! Her ability to teach goes beyond just the physical practice. She's able to communicate the benefits of the whole person; mind, body, and spirit. This has provided our students with a variety of tools to deal with stress and anxiety in an increasingly demanding world. Something everyone should experience.”
- Fiona Hicks, B.A./B.Ed., High School Teacher
Suzanne has a degree in Education & years of experience teaching in middle, high, and alternative schools, kindergartens, & to first nations youth ... from yoga in the regular physical education curriculum to martial arts & self defense, to specialized sessions for stress & mental health.
