Hi, I’m Susy, the person behind Slow with Susy!

It’s my intention to offer you a pause in the chaos, through restorative sound and yoga. I hold weekly yoga sessions, regular in-person and online sound baths, and also special events and retreats. I’ve been practicing yoga for over 20 years, teaching for nearly 10 years and 6 years ago I started weaving crystalline sound into my sessions.

Over the past few years, even with my yoga and sound practices, I’ve found it increasingly difficult to relax. Where I once found it so easy to do nothing, now trying to wind down left me feeling anxious and fidgety. Was it the perimenopause creeping in? Undiagnosed ADHD? Less capacity for stress? Some weird FOMO after lockdown? Maybe all of these things :)

So my practices and learnings started to shift into consciously helping me to decompress and recalibrate and so Slow with Susy was born.

Think of my offerings of being like a soft cloud to land in and just rest for a while…

MY PHILOSOPHY

Resting in Sound We are vibration and each of us have our own signature ‘drone’ that allows our cells to recognise each other. Sound was there in the very beginning and some theorise, the source of all life on earth - it’s one the first things we become aware of, even before we’re born. In sound we can reconnect and return to the simplicity of who we are. Sound bathing can create ease, calm and support deep rest.

Resting in Movement Our bodies were designed to move. And in movement we can find rest. Movement can bring you into the present moment like nothing else, providing a reprieve from worrying about the future or ruminating on the past. Movement can reconnect you with your body, with sensations, with your breath, all drawing you into the now. And here you get to meet yourself, just as you are.

Rest is radical
We live in a world where our value is measured by how productive we are and we’re made to feel guilty for wanting space to simply be, to breathe, to do nothing. Rest is not a reward or something you fit in when you can - it’s absolutely essential to our survival and we cannot hope to flourish without it. Allowing yourself true rest is now a radical act, join me in the rest revolution :)

We find rest in community Modern society is very individualistic and has us believing we must do it all by ourselves but as humans, we’re community creatures, even the most introverted (me!) need others for true wellness. Whether it’s spending time with like-minded hearts, sharing laughter or resources or simply having others witness us as we are, it’s all incredible powerful and very much needed. I love retreats for this very reason - even if just for a weekend, we experience the nourishment of community.

I’m here to share, not ‘teach’ I don’t have all the answers and I’m muddling through life like everyone else! I’ve not ‘mastered’ yoga or any other modality because I don’t think you can in one lifetime :) I simply share what works for me. I can pass on what I’ve learnt along the way but you are your only true teacher.
