Susan Grieve

After attending her first yoga class in her 20's, Susan began training as a yoga teacher after waking up paralyzed down her right side (which lead to a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis). Yoga was integral to her rehabilitation as it picked up where physiotherapy left off. It was vital to her complete physical recovery. As her yoga proficiency grew, Susan began to dream of helping others improve their flexibility and strength. Eighteen months after her paralysis, she began teaching yoga to a group of women, and had enrolled to formally train. In 2011, she graduated with a yoga teaching diploma through the International Yoga Teachers Association (IYTA). She also attended any Iyengar (the style she was practicing then) teacher training she could - this included teachers such as Faeq Biria, Rosie Holland, Melodie Batchelor and Glenn Ceresoli. Susan has also had the great pleasure of completing prenatal yoga training with Janice Clarfield, an internationally renowned yoga teacher, and have delved into the world of Yin Yoga with Sebastian Purcelle and Murielle Burellier's teacher training, as well as Joe Barnett. Her own style of yoga has developed over the years, and she tends to prefer a more gentle flowing style in active classes, but her big love is Yin Yoga, such a delicious meld of breath, body and mind.
