A Few Affirmations from Yoga Teachers Who Have Trained with Suzanne Newton
"After five years of practicing yoga I knew I was ready to delve deeper into yoga and its traditions and I wanted an intensive program that addressed the entirety of yoga—including philosophy and history—instead of focusing exclusively on the physical practice. Suzanne Newton’s program was exactly what I was searching for. The program was a careful layering of history, tradition, anatomy, physical practice, meditation, and pranayama, and teaching methods—with each informing the other. The experience undoubtedly changed my practice on the mat and gave me a new source of resilience off the mat at a time when I definitely needed it. The experience was one of the most valuable of my life and one that I would repeat in a second if given the opportunity." Beth Pugh Huntsville, AL
"My experience working directly with Suzanne has been deeply profound, and I have the utmost respect for her. Her teaching is clear, precise, and highly reflects both the inner and outer traditions of yoga. Practicing with her is yoga in its truest form. She challenges me on every level imagined, while gently coaxing me to become the best practitioner/Self I can be. Since working regularly with Suzanne, my confidence has elevated, and the foundation of my practice is significantly more solid, steady, graceful, and grounded. It is because of her living example, mentorship, vast knowledge, and thorough communication that I practice and teach with such joy in my heart and strength in my spirit. I am eternally grateful."

"Words cannot even begin to describe my experience with Suzanne at Yoga Dharma. I attended Yoga Dharma for my 200-RYT training from 2012-2013 and it was a year that I would not trade for any other. Not only did I learn what was required out of the curriculum, but I also learned a lot about myself and what I am really capable of. Through Suzanne's fair and encouraging coaching I was able to retain valuable knowledge that follows me to this day when I go to classes with other teachers and also in my every day life. I can now listen more carefully and fully when in class and am also better able to curb my perfectionism and self-judgment when in postures. It's a very freeing feeling! If you're thinking about studying with Suzanne, I cannot encourage you enough to do so. In the words of Suzanne, "Don't think. Just do." Ashley Lopez-Korus, YA RYT200 Bloomington, Indiana
