Suzanne Faulkner's bio

Suzanne Faulkner began practicing yoga in 1990 and Ashtanga yoga in 1993 when she moved to Durham NC. For the first five years, her teachers were the women she practiced with: Nancy Holliman, Kathy Hallen (now owner and director of Ride the Breath yoga studio), and Patricia Mickleberry. The group practiced together anywhere and everywhere and this informal Mysore group was the laboratory in which they investigated the sequence and practiced giving and receiving adjustments. The group built momentum, and Nancy opened the YogaSpot, in 1999, the only Ashtanga based studio in the area. During the nearly ten years YogaSpot was open, this same core group of ashtangis, including Suzanne, taught and took classes, and hosted multiple workshops with touring senior teachers such as Tim Miller, Annie Pace, David Williams, David Swenson, David Keil and David Garrigues. Suzanne is greatly in debt to Annie Pace, the first certified teacher who provided the knowledge-base and support she needed for the first decade of practice.

When YogaSpot closed in 2008, Suzanne opened Ashtanga Yoga Club Durham on January 1st 2009, after teaching in the front room of her home for some months.

Suzanne now looks to David Garrigues as her Ashtanga teacher, from whom she receives invaluable, ongoing guidance regarding her practice and her teaching.
