Susan Fendler’s passion for yoga and music has been the driving force behind her life’s work. She grew up in New Hampshire, where she developed a love for literature and music at an early age. After graduating from Eastman School of Music, Susan pursued a career in music education and performance in New York.

Despite a fulfilling career as a music educator and performer, Susan felt a calling to explore the world of yoga. She began practicing yoga over 25 years ago and quickly fell in love with the physical and spiritual benefits of the practice.

Susan’s love of yoga inspired her to delve deep into yogic philosophy and to study Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras in depth. Her commentary on the Yoga Sutras is her gift to her students and practitioners around the world in hopes to simplify and clarify this ancient wisdom. As a yoga instructor, she has trained numerous students to become certified yoga instructors themselves, passing on her knowledge and passion to others.
