Susan Bowen

Susan enrolled in Baron's Teacher Training to learn more about the path of teaching while still working in a very intense corporate environment. It was unheard of to NOT check email for a week - even if you were on vacation doing yoga! The beauty of the teacher training experience and the truth that yoga does heal led her to not only teach but open Thrive Yoga in Rockville, MD, a Washington DC suburb: www.thriveyoga.com. Today, Thrive has more than 30 classes per week and is considered a sanctuary of peace and healing for its yoga and for its nature-inspired environment of waterfalls, trees and stone statues.

As a Baptiste teacher, Susan's classes are challenging and inspire students to explore the practice of unifying the breath, mind and body to a place of comfort, far from the common western habit of distraction and discomfort. Although, Susan's style is most inspired by Baron Baptiste, she has also studied other yoga styles and vinyasa expressions. Susan was first introduced to yoga in college by a Buddha-like yogi and was able to study and practice yoga all over the United States while traveling for 15 years in her corporate sales career.
