Susan Mitchell has been a follower and advocate of yoga for over 30 years. Her love started at an early age, trying many different styles of yoga over the years. There was always interest and passion for alternative health and well being. Health and personal development has always been important.
Susan is a trained naturopath and devoted meditator and the path into yoga teaching developed from the natural fit of physical health, mental wellbeing and the mind, body and spirit connection.
Susan and her daughter Clare studied teacher training together at the Australian Yoga Academy and the unique combination of recent studies, past experiences and the mother daughter relationship has resulted in a beautiful partnership.
Susan loves that yoga provides a feeling of being completely toned and massaged inside and out after yoga practice. There is a sense of energy but also of calm and balance which Susan believes is uniquie to yoga. The increased awareness is the path you walk as you take up a regular yoga practice. An increased appreciation of the "now" and acknowledgment of being in the moment becomes noticeable and therefore changes the perception to the world around.
Susan incorporates sequences and poses from the Hatha, Vinyasa Power Flow and Ashtanga traditions. An emphasis is on alignment and correction of poses to develop a safe yoga practice and of course the breath, to link the mind to the body.
More importantly to Susan is the attitude of not taking oneself too seriously. Laughing is the best medicine. With a sense of the ridiculous and the love of life and laughter, Susan prefers to make yoga a fun experience as well as gaining the physical, mental and spiritual benefits.
Passionate about life, learning, laughing, growing and feeling great is Susan's mantra.
Susan feels enormous gratitude that she has found this path but also blessed that she can help others to experience the benefits of yoga. She believes it is what you take off the mat and into your day that is life changing.
Susan teaches from a boutique, home studio, with a garden outlook, with her daughter, Clare. Together they have created a fun adn energetic mother and daughter team at White Space Yoga.
