Yoga AND MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHy

I believe utmost in being kind to all and offering a safe space where learning is facilitated. As Maya Angelou said, “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
​
Every person is unique in each class. We've all experienced a different journey in this life and need to be able to respect our inner wisdom as to which yoga poses are appropriate.  So, we'll practice at our individual level with humor and lightheartedness, looking to remove any judgements and preconceived notions of what we think we should be. 
"I have been taking hatha yoga classes for more than 25 years in various locations and Susan Kain is one of the best teachers I have ever had.   She describes each pose clearly -- managing to challenge both beginners and more advanced students.   She is quite knowledgeable about the origins of yoga and shares her knowledge with the class.  Moreover, she makes each individual student feel comfortable and cared for.   After each class, students can carry the good feelings home with them -- by picking up a herbal teabag or a strip of paper with a wise saying on it.  I would highly recommend Susan Kain as a yoga teacher."
