Learn to connect with the body in a whole new way – with less fight,
more love, rest, compassion and ease by blending anatomy, biomechanics
and yoga.
Over the last 30 years of teaching clients and training health professionals to reduce and eradicate pain – I have seen one common characteristic amongst all of them . . .
When you can connect to the whispers in the body, and can quiet the body’s screams, that is when you can get better, faster results – even for those who have been living with pain for decades.
At the foundation of Functional Synergy is a belief that where the pain is, is not where the problem is.
Using anatomy, biomechanics and your ability to see and listen, you can use small movements to get better results at an accelerated pace.
My job is to help you connect more clearly with your body and empower you to help your clients do the same.
You aren’t wrong for having these doubts. Most yoga and yoga therapy is largely taught by focusing on generalizations and cueings.
The focus is on yoga for __________ (fill in the condition), which goes after the obvious symptoms, offering protocols and templates.
These work, but not consistently, which leaves you with more questions than answers.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
You can feel confident with your skills.
You can be known as someone who is credible and effective. Someone people can count on.
You can be known as someone who helps people heal.

Susi has spent 25+ years teaching yoga-informed anatomy, biomechanics, and physiology principles to movement and body-based professionals wanting to achieve long-lasting results for themselves and their practice.
By combining her B.Sc. in Kinesiology with her practical understanding of movement, breath and stillness, she sees compensatory movement strategies and understands how movement truly works.
The nervous system can catalyze powerful healing when in a relaxed, non-wired, non-tired state. She knows how to help others get to this place. That is what she teaches. This is what she can teach you.
“To analyze movement takes a combination of formal training in anatomical and biomechanical knowledge, and a solid sense of intuition. While the former is attained though time and diligent practice, the latter is more difficult to master. It requires the practitioner to combine reason with instinct and curiosity. Susi has proved to be an expert at this skill, which makes collaborations with her very rewarding. I can trust her to help my clients find new ways to explore their senses and gain a new connection between the brain, body and spirit. Truly a gifted practitioner and a wonderful person.”
“After each training with Susi, my teaching evolves and my personal practice evolves. I gain more clarity and insight about the body, and how it functions every time I complete a training. I also leave with a greater sense of direction as to where/how I want to teach yoga in my studio and also I gain a greater sense of direction in my personal life. The trainings remind me of why I do what I do and how to take it to the next level.”
