Susan Guise-Bagley
|
Heartspring Yoga Barrie was founded by Susan Vasanti Guise-Bagley, CGA, RYT, a certified registered yoga and meditation teacher (member of Yoga Alliance and IYTA), in Barrie, Ontario, Canada.
Susan has studied and practiced various forms of meditation, including mindfulness meditation (MBSR course as developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn), breath, mantra, shamatha (Tibetan) and Zen meditation, and attended 22 silent intensive zen retreats of 3-7 days over the past 4 years. She is also a volunteer with Freeing the Human Spirit, teaching yoga and meditation to inmates at a local prison on a weekly basis.
Susan has suffered from chronic back pain in the past, and like many of her students, has been told there was nothing wrong despite obvious pain and limited flexibility. By persisting in her yoga practice, she eventually found a style of yoga and a specific series of postures that worked to relieve the pain and prevent recurrences, and shares these techniques with students in her yoga classes.
Inspired by the positive changes in her own personal life through years of yoga and meditation practice, Susan decided to become a certified Integral Yoga teacher, doing an intensive residential training at the Satchidananda Ashram, Yogaville, Virginia under the expert guidance of Swami Divyananda and Reverend Vidya Vonne (who assisted in developing the teacher training program with Swami Satchidananda back in 1974). Swami Satchidananda was one of the first Indian yoga masters to bring yoga to the west, and those of you who are old enough to remember it, will know him as the swami who spoke at the Woodstock festival back in the 1960s.
