A LETTER FROM THE ROAD
Celebrating 20 Years of Teaching Yoga — and Beginning a New Journey
by Suzi
The word journey has always held special meaning for me.
Several years ago, when my husband and I embarked on a two-year sailing adventure to South America and back, we named our boat Journey. It couldn't have been a more fitting name. That voyage changed me in ways I never could have imagined. It taught me about surrender, trust, resilience, and the beauty of living fully in the present moment.
And now, another journey is beginning.
For the next five months, I'll be traveling and living in my camper van, exploring new places, spending time in nature, practicing, teaching, and seeing where the road takes me.
This time, I'd love to bring you along.
I'll be sharing pieces of the journey here each week—not simply the places I visit, but the reflections, practices, lessons, and little moments of awareness that happen along the way. Because if yoga has taught me anything over these past twenty years, it's that the practice doesn't end when we step off the mat.
Looking back now, I realize that my life has been made up of many journeys, each one shaping who I am becoming. Teaching yoga has been one of the most meaningful and life-changing of them all.
This year marks a very special milestone for me—over 4,000 classes and 20 years of teaching yoga!
As I look back, I don't simply remember the poses I taught or the classes I led. I remember the people. I remember the conversations, the breakthroughs, the laughter, the tears, and the quiet moments when someone discovered a little more peace within themselves.
It has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.
And to celebrate these twenty years, I wanted to give something back.
Although the course I developed is a Yoga Alliance RYT 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Certification, it is so much more than that.
Developing the Online Yoga Teacher Training was another journey into the timeless wisdom teachings of yoga and, perhaps even more importantly, a journey into myself and my desire to share these tools with others who are also seeking the freedom and truth these teachings can reveal.
Whether you dream of teaching yoga or simply long to live with greater authenticity and awareness, these teachings have the power to transform the way you experience your life.
So, for a limited time, I'm offering my 200-Hour Online Yoga Teacher Training for just $299.
Whether you take it to become a teacher or simply for your own personal growth, I believe it is a journey worth taking.
That is why I created this training the way I did. I wanted it to feel as personal as an online course possibly could. Rather than simply watching videos and completing assignments, you'll be supported through an ongoing one-on-one teacher-student relationship with me.
I wanted to create the kind of guidance I would have wanted on my own path—a place to ask questions, deepen your understanding, and feel genuinely supported every step of the way.
My deepest hope is that this training becomes more than something you complete. I hope it becomes a doorway into living with greater awareness, compassion, and freedom, as yoga has been for me.
After twenty years of sharing these teachings, I remain just as inspired by them today as when I first began.
And as I begin this next five-month journey on the road, it feels especially meaningful to be reminded that we are all always on a journey—both outward and inward.
I'd love to bring you along on mine.
And perhaps this is the moment to begin yours.
I hope you'll join me.
Namaste, Suzi
This same spirit of discovery is what draws so many of our students into teacher training. Stepping onto the mat each day for 200 hours works a lot like stepping out of the van each morning — you trade routine for curiosity, certainty for wonder, and you discover, the way Suzi did out on the road, how little you truly need in order to feel whole.
Join us for a transformative experience under the summer sun.
