About Sue

Over the past 30 years of my yoga journey I have been fortunate to have studied and practised with many world renowned yoga teachers including Baron Baptiste, Simon Low and Dr Francoise Freedman.

Special acknowledgement goes to Gill Lloyd, who has been my teacher, trainer, guide and mentor from 1990-present day. Through her I have had the privilege of studying directly with TKV Desikachar at the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in Chennai and in the UK over these 30 years.

TKV Desikachar was one of the most respected yoga teachers of modern times and the torchbearer of the rich teachings of his father, T Krishnamacharya. Krishnamacharya is known as the grandfather of yoga in the west kym.org

The heart of the teachings is that yoga can be adapted to suit each person rather than the person to the yoga.

In the past people have said,  I can’t do yoga, I’m not flexible enough, it’s too difficult, too fast or too slow. My goal has been to show that there is a way of practising yoga that will suit each person so that they can enjoy the many benefits yoga can bring.

“Yoga is not a one size fits all. It is an individual experience”

“My favourite part of this tradition is the respect for the individual. It is a sensitive method. It does not prescribe one set of movements. It evolves over time and is multidimensional so absolutely everybody can have a useful, potent, personalised practice. I feel this makes it accessible to all ages, abilities and stages of life”
