Introducing Susan Allen
Known throughout the yoga community as “Suze”, Susan is a trained mechanical engineer, who switched to yoga teaching having discovered the art of yoga while travelling through India in the 1990’s.
Susan has practised meditation and mindfulness since her teenage years, and was instantly attracted to the blend of the physical and the mental that yoga offered. Following her initial yoga teacher training in the Sivananda lineage in Uttarkashi, India, Suze was both inspired and awakened by the practice of traditional yoga – taking an interest in the philosophical, cultural, and holistic aspects that are the foundations of the tradition.
Susan has successfully run yoga studios, online classes, workshops, immersions, and retreats for the last twenty years, coupling a spiritually-grounded, holistic approach with a technique-driven, biomechanically-minded, scientific and structured methodology. Suze makes the most of her practical and technical skill set to teach yoga pragmatically, specialising in mentoring – teaching the teachers.
As a former student of numerous revered world-class master teachers herself, including yoga therapist and Viniyoga founder Gary Kraftsow, Anusara yoga founder John Friend, and Tibetan Buddhist master Dan Brown, Susan credits her most meaningful growth as a yoga teacher to her time spent with these masters of their craft, and is incredibly grateful for the opportunity to study with such knowledgeable, respected yoga practitioners.
Having been part of the yoga community for over 20 years, Susan is deeply passionate about yoga changing lives. With yoga and meditation being a central part of her life journey, Suze is motivated to help other teachers reach their fullest potential and flourish in their roles as teachers within their communities. Yoga is a growing industry, and Susan sees a huge opportunity to be part of the change we want to see in this world, helping teachers develop a more holistic style of yoga that will be influential in making this world more conscious, more caring and more awakened.
