After 20 years as an editor and journalist covering travel, food and health, Suzanne Ausnit received her RYT teacher certification from Yoga Zone in 1998 and is currently registered at the 500-hour certification level through Yoga Alliance.

Suzanne teaches a slow but intense vinyasa style yoga with strong emphasis on mindful alignment and easeful breath. She focuses on building core strength and engaging specific muscle groups to develop body awareness. Her teaching incorporates techniques from a wide variety of somatic disciplines, including physical therapy, Pilates and body/mind centering. One-on-one sessions address the unique needs of the individual client and focus on developing healthy breathing habits and increased mobility and strength. She specializes in working with injuries.

Her teaching approach is strongly influenced by studies of yoga anatomy and breath with Leslie Kaminoff as well as of asana anatomy with Glenn Black. She has also been certified in therapeutic yoga by Charles and Lisa Matkin, in restorative yoga by Judith Lasater, in cardiac and cancer yoga by Nischala Joy Devi and children's yoga by Shakta Kaur Khalsa.

Further studies include workshop intensives with Erich Shiffman, Tom Myers, Todd Norian and a human disection workshop with Gil Hedley.

Suzanne currently teaches weekly classes at Devotion Yoga, the Hoboken YMCA, the Sky Club and the Hudson School. She has taught at Haelth in New York City and been a guest teacher at Lake Austin Spa in Texas. She assists in the Bright Spirit Teacher Training Program.
