Workshops and Retreats
Workshops with Sue offer an opportunity for students to delve deeper into the ancient yogic teachings. Whether students are attending a restorative workshop, an exploration of a Para Yoga concept, or a Yoga of Fulfillment session based on advanced studies with Sue’s teacher, Yogarupa Rod Stryker of Para Yoga, they leave feeling a sense of connection, well-being and contentment. These expanded sessions increase personal power and capacity and shine the light of yoga into dull areas of the body, mind and spirit.

Restorative Yoga Workshops: Transformation Without Trying
Give yourself a mini-vacation from your busy life for a journey into tranquility and well-being. This workshop leaves you feeling centered, calm and more focused. While placing your body in comforting positions to encourage relaxation of the nervous system, you are guided through breath work and imagery resulting in a slowing of the mind and thoughts. The goal is a sense of deep, abiding peace.
Workshops are $27 each. $33 at the door. Please pre-register with Your Community Yoga Center. All levels welcome.

Repeated throughout the year: The Four Desires workhop and study group follow up
The Four Desires is a weekend workshop dedicated to shining the light of yoga on one’s deepest driving desire. What is your soul’s unique longing? This workshop offers techniques designed to dissolve unwanted patterns of behavior, develops tools to formulate a code to live life by, and assists students in taking charge of their lives and therefore their destinies. This is a course dedicated to self-discovery. (No physical practice required in this course.) Sue also leads study groups based on Rod’s book The Four Desires.

As a Type-A person, who doesn’t often find the time to slow down, I found this workshop and the follow-up to be just what I needed to stick with the practice of meditation. The follow-up engenders a sense of accountability- both to oneself and others- about achieving new possibilities in one’s life. I have become a daily meditator and this has brought me a deeper calm and at the same time, a clear sense of energy and purpose in my work life.

“When I first met Sue, I was still reeling from the loss of my parents and my only sibling to cancer, all within three months. Not only was I overwhelmed with grief and sadness, I was waiting for the ‘ax’ to drop on me as well. I was anxious and afraid of what the future might bring. Sue suggested that I participate in her The Four Desires workshop.
"I could never have imagined how much this workshop would help me! I view life in such a positive and calm way now. I no longer feel as though illness and/or tragedy are around the next corner. I am able to celebrate my true healthy being! WHAT A WONDERFUL FEELING!!!
“The only way I can describe my transformation is to say that I now have a ‘high ceiling.’ My entire outlook on life has changed. There are no limits imposed upon me. As a result of this new way of living and enjoying life, I have begun college at 48 years of age! I am looking forward to a long, happy life.”

“I have attended several classes and seminars throughout New England on how to enrich my life and open up to my potential. Sue's The Four Desires workshop made me awaken to many things that I had never realized about myself. The process she took us through helped me uncover many hidden fears and underlying emotions, which held me back from realizing my true potential and living the life of my dreams. Since attending this session, many new doors have opened for me. I now have wonderful tools that I implement in my daily life. Sue’s warmth of spirit and energy shines through in her teaching.”

Testimonials for Reiki
“In September 2007, I had open-heart surgery. Sue came to perform Reiki on me and to the amazement of my medical team, I made an exceptional recovery: 1) I survived the surgery, 2) my post-operative state was free of complications, 3) my heart is back to normal and 4) there are no signs of damage. My doctors consider me a ‘miraculous case.’
“In addition to a positive attitude, prayers and support of family and friends, I credit the Reiki with a large part of my healing. Sue's Reiki work greatly influenced the speed and quality of my recovery. I believe the Reiki helped me remain calm and peaceful, and I believe the Reiki helped my body heal. I decided to learn Reiki from Sue so I could treat myself.
“I am blessed to have Sue. I have come full circle with her. She was my yoga teacher, then my Reiki practitioner, my Reiki teacher, and now again my yoga teacher. I am always impressed with her giving spirit.”
Lousie B.
