 Susan’s classes provide the mind/body peacefulness I'm looking for but also a super challenge for my body.  ~ Janet

The way Susan progresses her students is perhaps her greatest strength as a yoga teacher. I live in Richmond and attend Susan’s class whenever I’m at the River. I’m surprised at how much stronger and more skillful her students are every time I come to class. ~ Mindy

“We don't just write about it; we do it. In early 2023, my mom and I thoroughly enjoyed the Costa Rica retreat and can't say enough wonderful things about Susan; her zeal and zest for life are contagious. She was a very communicative host—before, during, and after our trip—and fostered a retreat environment where everyone felt comfortable and relaxed. 10/10 recommend.” ~ Morgan Sanders, The Local Scoop Magazine

The community experience and the expert feedback I get from Susan enriches my practice in every way. ~ Kelly

***

My goal is to be serene, like my yoga teacher. My husband assures me I have a long way to go. ~ Corey

***

Susan is the queen of flow! Her transitions from pose to pose are so well thought out that you really get into the rhythm of the practice. It’s one of the ways she stands above every other instructor I’ve had.  ~ Art

***

I absolutely love the rhythm of Susan’s practice mash-up – her cuing, fine-tuning, modeling, adjusting, managing the music and clock, and throwing in the perfectly timed quip or wise-crack (just when I need to lighten up and relax my face). Her timing is a big element of the practice for me. ~ Melissa

***

  I never would have imagined the Northern Neck would attract such a talented, intuitive, caring, skilled yoga instructor. ~ Eva

***

Susan is phenomenal. She really gets me to focus on my alignment and breathing, but for me her greatest gift is the way she mentally and spiritually guides the practice ~ Pris

***

Susan does a great job of keeping each class fresh. I love the variety. ~ Pamela

***

I have practiced a variety of yoga styles in numerous cities for more than 20 years. Susan is the best instructor I’ve ever had. ~ Janice

***

I can’t think of a better complement to a yoga workshop then to have a physical therapist incorporated into the class. Ginger’s humor, knowledge and ability to work in tandem with Susan so gracefully made the workshop a big success as was evident by the energy in the class. ~ Marlene

***

Susan is a natural instructor with great hands-on assists, a patient and caring demeanor and good knowledge. How grateful our visiting group was to be a part of the InsideOut Yoga experience! ~ Caroline

***

Susan teaches to every individual's learning style and needs. She has taught me that I can skip or modify any pose and still have a good practice. That's one of the reasons I keep coming back. ~ Hatley

***

I’ve been taking Chris’s Yoga for Better Breathing class for three weeks and my posture and breathing are already much better. I am almost 80, have COPD, stage IV lung cancer and am on oxygen 24/7. Who would have thought yoga could help this much? I feel anyone can benefit from yoga. ~ Carol

***

As a part time resident, I am delighted by how vibrant the Northern Neck yoga community is. Susan is clearly a big part of that. ~ Eleanor

***

Susan’s classes are really fantastic. They’ve pushed me to grow my practice. ~ Colleen

***

My favorite thing about Susan's teaching is her reminders about the balance between opposing forces in each pose and the encouragement to find the balance between effort and ease, the stretch and the strengthening. I also appreciate the prompt to take something from our practice and apply it to our lives. These things help me deepen my practice and fulfill my intention of being a better me . ~ Caroline

***

I took the core workshop because I wanted specific instruction on how to continue strengthening my core. I learned lots of little nuances, but also reminders of the physiology of the core’s musculature. I learned a great deal but it was light and fun. I highly recommend Susan and Ginger’s workshops! ~ Janice

***

Susan is the by far the best yoga teacher around! She cares so much for her students. She doesn’t want anyone to hurt themselves and is always telling us, “no pain, no pain.” She reminds us not to compare ourselves with others because our bodies are all built differently and to find a real balance between “effort and ease.” She is truly an amazing yoga instructor, person and now a great friend. ~ Debi

***

The Sun Salutation workshop was great! I learned so much! Plus, my mind was “quieted” for two hours. That never happens. ~ Jen

***

I'm incredibly grateful to have found such an amazing group of yogis so close to home. I would never have expected that moving to Weems would lead me to such a wonderful yoga community. ~ Anna

I honestly don’t know what I’d do without Susan and the InsideOut community. You have all become my family and I feel so incredibly grateful. When I arrive at UU every week, I feel home. Namaste my friends!. ~ Angie

I feel like Susan is a gift that I was so fortunate to stumble upon. ~ CJ

***

I enjoy Susan's classes not only for her wonderful instruction but for the group energy I feel. It is an atmosphere of acceptance, friendliness, and everyone trying to be her or his best without making a competition out of it. I am inspired by the other students. I love the tranquil beauty of the church sanctuary and its surroundings where we practice. ~ Bob

Susan's commitment to her business and personal practice is very inspiring. She is so smart and resourceful, and she's constantly growing and seeking new ways to energize InsideOut Yoga. It's been fun to watch it evolve and I feel very fortunate to have her wonderful yoga studio on the Northern Neck. I think almost daily about one of her quotes: “Enjoy the infinite possibilities that surround us in each moment.” ~ Christine

***

I practice regularly, but getting myself across that bridge seems to be a challenge. Susan's class today reminded me again that her instruction far outweighs any effort it takes to get there! ~ Patty
