Specify month of workshop
Join Sue once a month on Saturdays for a intermediate level in-person workshop. These sessions will have a good balance of strength and flexibility, along with the more subtle practices of self-awareness, breath and meditation, and a few restorative poses at the end. It does make a difference to have eyes on you in three dimensions, in addition to the pleasure of practicing with others. I cap the attendance to 10 people, so everyone gets personal attention.

Please bring your own yoga props: mat, strap, block, blanket.

​I will continue to video the first 75 minutes for those who wish to practice at home online, using their regular class package. And, if you prefer to pay via check, just send me an email and I'll let you know where to send it.

NOTE: Proof of vaccination status required for in-studio workshops. All in-studio workshops have a 24 hour cancellation policy.

January Self Care Sunday - Online
Free Up Your Stiff Back
January 15, 2023
12:00-1:00 pm
$45 - ONLINE​
This innovative workshop will show you multiple ways to free up a tight back. I will incorporate all of my movement tool sets: yoga, Pilates, somatics, and myofascial release.

I will break the workshop into two sections: a longer one that uses movement, and a shorter one that is uses myofascial release. I will record the sections separately so they are easier to use later on.

You will need a tennis (or similar sized) ball.

The video will be sent after the workshop, and as always, you don’t have to attend live to receive the video.
Or you can call me at (503) 407-9677.  Please see my current Cancellation Policies.

Feedback from clients.

Blending a deep awareness of movement, anatomy and physiology, Sue draws on her extensive studies in dance, yoga, Pilates and Hanna Somatics to teach from a place of open-hearted focus!  Her instructions include modifications so each participant can tailor their experience to their own history and needs. I leave her highly effective sessions with greater mobility, strength, ease and awareness. She’s a joy to work with!  --JL
"While I wish that we could still roam about freely to attend Sue's classes in person, attending her classes online has been great! ZOOM is an easy, no fuss app to access and use. Since Sue limits the number of people in each class she is still able to observe us and provides individual feedback as needed in order to ensure that we are getting the most out of each move and to avoid injury.  Thank you, Sue!"  -JR
