A self-professed yoga squirrel, Joanne continues to collect many little acorns of knowledge and inspiration along her path and bring forth the insights of many teachers into her classes.

What a fabulous city we live in to practice this living art and science!

Suzy
Meditation Guru
Suzy's message: "Hello my friends. Try not to get to caught up in the daily drama. For example, when I see a squirrel, I try to witness the squirrel, I watch the squirrel, I breathe in, I breathe out, I notice the squirrel, and then I just watch the squirrel go by, without attachment, judgement or commentary - just an awareness of its being."
Suzy's own gurus are Esso, Steppen, Dexter, Lucy, Mocha and the cookie lady. When Suzy isn't meditating, she loves to hunt for food and howl every chance she gets.
Bark, scratch, ruff!
Breathe if you love yoga!
