Yin Yoga

I am so enthused about this style of yoga since doing a deep and immersive 2019 training. In Yin Yoga study and practice, poses are held for two to ten minutes, resulting in increased range of motion while tapping into the benefits of the parasympathetic nervous system. Talk to me about how this slow and targeted practice can respectfully bring your body into balance. Perfect for private sessions and as a support for your massage therapy goals.

Take a look at this article that outlines why it’s time to make time for Yin Yoga. https://www.yogajournal.com/lifestyle/10-reasons-make-time-yin-yoga

Hatha Yoga

"decades of movement study and practice…"

Bringing decades of movement study and movement practice to her studio classes, Susan creates private and semi-private yoga instruction, custom-designed to client development. Susan began studying Iyengar yoga in the late 1970s with Boston teacher Karen Stephan and was intrigued by how satisfying it felt to silently unify body, mind, and spirit. Since that time, she has blended study of yoga along with many other dance and movement disciplines until finally choosing to become certified to teach Embodyoga in 2004. Embodyoga is most simply defined as yoga practice from the inside out—an ‘embodied inquiry’ guiding direct experiences of sensing, feeling, and witnessing. It is a system of yoga that invites us deeper into ourselves—to the cellular level—leading to self-acceptance, insight, and inspiration.  

"There is a clear and fundamental difference between being led through a yoga class and being instructed in yoga." When I instruct you in the Embodi approach, I see you; all of the postural habits built over a lifetime follow you into asana. I will be there to help you build awareness, thus empowering you to makes healthy changes” -Susan Carbin-Hardee, MA 

Susan will gently and compassionately guide you to make postural corrections that will completely make sense to you and allow your practice to deepen organically. Instruction will always be attentive both to avoiding injuries and to working with old injuries and disabilities. And, as a seasoned massage therapist and structural integrator, Susan brings a tremendous amount of anatomy knowledge to her yoga instruction.
