About Me
I’m Suzanne, an E RYT yoga and Pilates fusion instructor based in Traverse City, Michigan, offering both in person and online classes designed to help you feel strong, supported, and at home in your body.
My classes blend mindful yoga, functional strength, and Pilates inspired movement to build stability, mobility, and deep core support from the inside out. I focus on creating intelligent, grounding practices that help you move better in everyday life, not just on the mat.
My why comes from witnessing how many of us are living in bodies shaped by long hours at desks, screens, and stress. I understand what it feels like to carry tight shoulders, a stiff back, shallow breathing, and that constant sense of being “on” but not fully connected to yourself. Movement became my way back to balance, and now I teach so others can find that same reconnection.
I believe practice should feel supportive, not punishing. It should help regulate your nervous system, restore energy, and build strength that translates into real life, like sitting at a desk with ease, standing taller, breathing deeper, and moving through your day with more space and less tension.
Whether you join me online or in person on the mat, my intention is always the same: to help you slow down, rebuild strength with intention, and feel more like yourself again.
“I loved how you split up the yoga class and meditation! I caught myself thinking about all the work I had to do after your session so ending with meditation was really helpful.”
-Amanda
