Susanna Elana quickly learns the capacity of your body and guides you to work to your highest capacity with the poses. I always leave class both relaxed and tired from the work. I love her classes! She is the best!

In the Gratitude class today, Susan Elena once again delivered with a brilliant sequence and tied it to yoga philosophy and toped it off with poetry.

It was a joy as always to learn from Susan Elena ma'am in-person and be part of the wonderful community of Yoga enthusiasts during the Summer Retreat. Weaving Patanjali's yoga sutras into the practice, discussing everyones practical experience and application of the sutra was very insightful. Loved the synergy of the group practice. Overall it was a fun and rejuvenating experience :)

Andrea leads the Community Yoga Essentials class with equal parts skill and patience. She adapts her instruction to fit the needs of the group, and is always quick to offer ways to modify poses for those who need it. She is kind and gracious to all class members, both regular and new, and makes everyone feel capable of participating to the level that they are able! :)

I've been so satisfied with the All Levels Back Care classes that I've attended at IYCWM. The environment is warm and welcoming, the instruction is consistently clear and precise, and I feel my posture is improving after just a few classes. I'm so grateful for this expert-level instruction right in the Northampton area!

Iyengar yoga with Susan Elena is amazing. As someone who is hyperflexible and was constantly pushed by other yoga teachers to abuse my joints for the sake of making a post, Iyengar is a relief. I do feel like I'm getting stronger and more flexible in a way that is in integrity with my body. I'm excited to deepen my practice by doing more yoga and would highly recommend this studio for anyone either getting into yoga or who has a lot of experience. Susan Elena clearly is extremely experienced and can help people from all backgrounds and levels.

I highly recommend this studio. If you haven’t tried Iyengar yoga before, you need to. It will change your yoga practice dramatically and your body. Susan Elena is a wealth of knowledge & takes care to make sure that students are taking care of their bodies throughout the class.

I am forever grateful for Susan Elena's profoundly therapeutic sequences, attentive and nurturing approach to teaching, astute eye, and understanding of the whole human organism (nervous system, musculature system, respiratory system, psyche, etc.). And her humor, of course :).

Susan Elena is an amazing teacher, and after just a couple of months the practice of Iyengar yoga is greatly supporting not only my yoga practice, but my posture, strength, balance, and awareness throughout the rest of my life. so grateful for IYCWM!

Susan Elena is such a gifted teacher who always provides high-quality instruction. She always knows how to make every pose accessible for all students, and I love the joy and brightness she brings to every class. I especially recommend her Back Care series, a true gem for all of us! I need help with my lower back (tightness and pain), and her Back Care classes have been so helpful.

Mariah's mindfulness classes are one of the highlights of my week! Not only do I enjoy the group discussions and meditation instructions, I find that I'm always able to carry her teachings into my daily life.
