Susan Fendler’s passion for yoga and music has been the driving force behind her life’s work. She grew up in New Hampshire, where she developed a love for the arts at an early age. After graduating from Eastman School of Music, Susan pursued a career in music education and performance in New York.

Despite a fulfilling career as a music educator, Susan felt a calling to explore the world of yoga. She began practicing yoga over 25 years ago and quickly fell in love with the physical and spiritual benefits of the practice. She trained in Rishikesh, India at Triguna Yoga Ashram and also in Anusara Yoga in Park City, Utah.

Susan’s love of yoga inspired her to delve deep into yogic philosophy and to study Patanjali’s Yoga Sūtras in depth. Her commentary on the Yoga Sūtras is her gift to her students and practitioners around the world in hopes to simplify and clarify this ancient wisdom. As a master yoga instructor, she has trained numerous students to become certified yoga instructors themselves, passing on her knowledge and passion to others.

When she’s not teaching yoga or writing, Susan loves to travel and explore new cultures. One of her favorite places is Bali, Indonesia, where she leads yoga retreats. She also enjoys skiing and spends her winters on the slopes in Park City.
