A restorative practice is accessible to all. Benefits of each position are explained at the start of long holds of up to 20 minutes. Once the thinking mind has integrated this, you are left to observe the flow of your thoughts, as your mind detoxes itself.
This mental purge and relaxation is aided through an awareness of breath, connection to body and the sharing of Sanskrit mantras and age old prayers.
With a series of squeezing and soaking organs and glands, your body is supported in positions that stimulate the para-sympathetic nervous system. Allowing you to experience the states of theta brain wave frequency, while your organs soak in oxygen rich blood.
There is a plexus of parasympathetic nerves at the base of the neck and the sacrum. These nerves are stimulated in poses with jalandhara, which calms the flow of thoughts.
In a restorative sequence, forward hanging poses like this are held for much longer. The spine flows from the pelvis increasing with each exhalation, decompressing vertebra and rehydrating the discs between them.
A natural stimulation of Uddiyana Bandha occurs and is engaged at length, as the thighs are lifted away from the abdomen. During Uddiyana bandha, the internal organs move back into their position of origin.
The bolster elevates the torso away from the ground, allowing the shoulders to fall away and the chest to open. The padding under the head and spine signals the nervous system to relax.
Leg stretches can be held long enough to go beyond the muscles and tendons, to the connective tissue.
Chest opening continues with the bolster throughout Savasana and lower leg support is offered to stabalise the lumbar and sacral area.

Network Spinal is a chiropractic technique that goes beyond correcting physical misalignments. It removes nerve interference, which also removes the source of tension in the body. This is done by using light touches to different areas of the body creating connections within the brain.
Throughout the yoga offering, you are encouraged to breathe in sync with soundtracks designed to attune the cadence, biomechanics and biochemistry of your breath to the rest and heal branch of your nervous system, restoring functional breath.
Rapeh or hapé is 'shamanic snuff' that is given during a sacred ceremony that has a cleansing effect on the body and mind. Its feminine nature provides a high and uplifting experience and a profound focus and grounding bringing you into as deeper meditative state in a space prepared for sacred ceremony.
You will be offered Rapeh. You can accept or decline.
During my initial yoga teacher training with Ruth White in 2002 I studied breathwork extensively and took my Reiki 1. Around the same time, I studied a form of Qi Gong (Thai Chi Wuxi Gong), which activated my 'dantien' energy centre. I learned to sense, and using my breath, direct energy through my body.
Spiritual practice, yoga teaching and music have maintained a constant in my life and continue to evolve. Enriched by complementary therapies such as EMF (emotional freedom technique), kinesiology and Reiki counselling, which helped me face and transcend my chosen major health challenge.
In 2017 I learned transcendental (mantra) meditation and was also initiated into the Munay-ki rites- an ancient shamanic practice. I am a practitioner of Usui Reiki 1, 2 & 3 and Sekhem 1.
Recently I have found commonality with 'spontaneous movement' in Qi Gong and Donny Epstein's 'respiratory wave' in Network Spinal. As well as having a profound and life changing psilocybin experience, in ceremony, with Uriya Jurik and embarking on her transformational mentorship course.
I draw upon a blend of ancient wisdom and ever evolving modern knowledge to hold a healing space for others to evolve.

Suzette has been trained in Network Spinal (an epienergetic application) with the developer of the technique, Donny Epstein, who has now phased out of teaching. Like Donny, Suzy works intuitively on your spine and energy field. She has achieved the highest levels of training in Network Spinal including 2 years of Master E.
Suzette’s experience with Network Spinal started in 1998. She became a practitioner in 2000 and earned her Doctor of Chiropractic in 2001 from Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. She opened a practice In Wimbledon in 2003 which she ran for 8 years and now works from home.
NSA has opened Suzette up to many unique healing experiences. She sees the spine and nervous system as the window to a person’s healing physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. The body has its own infinite wisdom and intelligence and it needs to have a congruent nervous system access it. The nervous system is the receptor for human growth and consciousness and when clear, people can increase their vibration to live more enriched, conscious, connected and empowered lives. This is her goal and mission.
Suzette has also explored other techniques for herself and has done training in craniosacral therapy, Applied Kinesiology, and Developmental Functional Neurology. She has also experienced: constellation work, brain spotting, cranial sacral therapy, homeopathy and naturopathy.
She has a regular meditation spiritual practice that is opening her up to her intuitive gifts in reading the body and its energies which translates to her work with her clients.
