Susannah Freedman

Hi, I'm Susannah! I've been lucky enough to teach Yoga since 2010, and I'm even luckier that I grew up visiting with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (Gurudev) many times throughout my childhood. I teach Bhakti Vinyasa which is a powerful, well-rounded flow grounded in devotion and the philosophy that is the foundation for the practice as a whole. My classes include epic chanting, fluid and dynamic sequencing, fire playlists and lots of humor because now more than ever we need to find laughter wherever we can. I'm so excited to move with you!
xoxo Susannah
