Welcome Om
i’m SusanA and I’m here to empower people through the PRACTICAL wisdom of yoga.
I started practicing yoga while attending the University of Colorado in Boulder. After training with CorePower Yoga in 2009, I opened the boutique yoga studio Urban Yogi in downtown San Diego, where I developed a yoga teacher training curriculum and certified over 50 yoga teachers (RYS 200).
I received an additional 800 hours of training with Soul of Yoga Institute to become a certified yoga therapist, C-AIYT.
Whether I’m teaching a studio class or supporting a private client, I offer people “helpful opposites” to dysfunctional posture, breathing dynamics, and lifestyle to improve one’s overall health and quality of life.
While earning a Master’s in Integral Health, I focused my studies on wellness in early motherhood. This research informs the therapeutic framework I discuss in the Yoga for Mom-Life podcast.
I teach locally for employees of Neurocrine Biosciences and at CorePower Yoga. I am also a faculty member of Soul of Yoga Institute’s IAYT Accredited Yoga Therapy Training, where I develop trainings and mentor future yoga therapists.
I dedicate this work to Mother Nature.
Waves of love,
Susana Jones
