Susannah Sanfilippo's work is rooted in a simple but radical idea: that healing happens in the union - of breath with body, mind with body, body with ground, self connected with heart. This is the YOGA of Susannah. Not a style of postures, but a practice of coming home to your whole self.

She is a tenured yoga instructor, certified clinical hypnotist, embodiment practitioner, and somatic educator whose work draws on over 25 years of embodied practice, nervous-system science, mindfulness, breathwork, and movement. She is the founder of Yoga for Your Grieving Heart, maintains an active group yoga teaching practice, and has offered weekly Breathing & Meditation classes for four years. Through private coaching, hypnosis, and group facilitation, including workshops, organizational trainings, and community healing programs, she helps people gently unwind long-held patterns, regulate stress, and rediscover the quiet intelligence already living inside them.
