Susan began her study of classical Pilates in 1998, and after reaching the advanced level, decided to become an instructor to share her appreciation of the Method with others.  She completed her training in 2004 through Power Pilates NYC and is certified to teach Beginner and Intermediate level students on mat and the equipment.  Susan’s teaching reflects her passion for mind-body practices, and emphasizes the fundamentals of Pilates movement and its connection with the energy centers (Chakras) within the body.  She is a student of yoga and Reiki, and embraces the concepts of integrative wellness and alternative healing. Co-owner of Lotus Mind & Body, Susan lives in Bernardsville with her husband and three children.
