Yoga 1 IS Susan Voorhees and Susan knows what she's doing. She's done it for decades, and it shows. Add to this who Susan appears to be (a teacher with little ego investment), and what do you get? Sound instruction, infinite nurturing, acceptance, thoughtful attention and encouragement. Brava, Susan! And thank you.

I had the joy of taking Susan's Sat 9AM class a few weeks ago. It was excellent. It was evident that Susan is an experienced and knowledgeable teacher and puts a lot of thought into how she approaches the class. The atmosphere was low key, calm and loving. I so enjoyed! If you have wanted to try yoga but feel slightly unsure or intimidated, this would be a great place to start! Shelly Sheppick

I have taken Yoga lessons for many years from many fine teaches. Susan Voorhees ranks as one of the best. She teaches in the Iyengar tradition in that she does not rush through poses and emphasizes alignment, but she brings so much more to the practice. She is schooled in pilates and tai chi and I think many other practices. She brings this wealth of knowledge and her extensive experience teaching to every lesson. No lesson is the same, yet each seems to be just what I need. Her lessons are truly meditation in action. Each class ends with my mind and body relaxed and strengthened.
