In 1990, Sue Darling Elivique took her first yoga class and has never looked back. Inspired to find health and well-being after a devastating motorcycle accident, Sue quickly recognized the profundity of the yogic path.

Sue became a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher in 1998. The feeling of learning and understanding is still what inspires her today, not only as a teacher but as a student. What she loves about Iyengar Yoga is that one learns yogic postures as well as yogic philosophy, which brings clarity and peace to the mind. Through her dedicated practice, Sue has come to understand how Iyengar Yoga is adaptive by nature, and can be used in healing the body and mind.

As a teacher, Sue has spent numerous hours with students of all ages: from children, teens and adults. She has also worked with students with special needs, instructing them patiently in the practice of Yoga and Pranayama.

Sue’s approach to teaching is heartfelt, patient, and skillful. She is precise in the teaching of the postures while inspiring everyone in her class to reach their potential. Her classroom is a place to study, practice, reflect, inquire, learn, and grow. Yoga beginners and longtime practitioners alike are welcome and can work at their own pace.

Within the Iyengar system, all teachers are students first. They are encouraged to have a daily practice and a continuous wish to study, and grow throughout their lives. This is an idea Sue has been committed for nearly 30 years ago and continues to dedicate herself to everyday.

Sue is also a practicing Buddhist on the path of loving kindness, and has been part of a worldwide Buddhist meditation study/teaching program for many years. She brings passion for yoga, love of life, and a joyful presence to her class.
