Suzanne Ellis

I began practicing yoga over 25 years ago as I slowly learnt to manage my own stress levels, chronic anxiety and long term back pain. I am a Senior Yoga teacher and Yoga Therapist with Yoga Australia as well as a Yoga Therapist, Naturopath and Nutritionist.  As a Certified iRest teacher all of my yoga classes now have the flavour of iRest and are Trauma Sensitive I work with people of all ages who are suffering everyday stress and overwhelm through to those with chronic mental health issues. I teach iRest classes at my studio as well as twice weekly in the local public hospital mental health ward. I also see people privately at my clinic and via Telehealth.

I run a yoga studio in Glenbrook in the Lower Blue Mountains as well as Kids Yoga Education which focuses on kids yoga teacher training. I am passionate about spreading yoga and meditation throughout the school system in Australia- the earlier we are introduced to yoga and meditation the better!.

I continue to grow and learn more about yoga and meditation and have a passionate interest in overall health and wellbeing through yoga, meditation and Western Herbal Medicine. In a previous life I was a lawyer working for Legal Aid NSW and now deeply values the opportunity life has given me to work full time in a job she is passionate about.
