Read what some of our members said when Sushama taught the older body online:

“Many older teachers and students live with pain and injuries and I think the
temptation is there to either give up or stick to restorative and pranayama only. Sushama’s
encouragement to practice everything was music to my ears. I liked the tempo, the variety of poses and the clear instruction delivered in a soft compassionate manner, it was very inclusive. Sushama taught at such a great place that was so engaging”
“Excellent creative simple friendly teaching”
“liked simplicity and focused of teaching style , great use of wall and chair for
accessing challenging poses . Liked how teacher showed alternative for frozen shoulder”
“She’s an inspirational teacher. Very clear, enjoyable and interesting”
