Susie Wonfor holds a British Wheel of Yoga (NVQ Level 4) Teaching Diploma. Her passion for yoga began in her years living in East Africa, with her personal path of yoga flourishing into teaching. It's Susie's personal practice and study (svadhaya) that provides the basis of her teaching, which she considers a vital resource, as well as continued annual training.
She offers weekly classes to all levels of student, in a style which combines a traditional Hatha Yoga foundation with dynamic and sequenced asana (postures) in a Vinyasa style. The breath is integral to the yoga practice, in which you will also develop a deeper connection to your breath and breathing techniques to support this. Meditative spaces are included and we end each session with relaxation. Susie likes to explore specific postures more deeply, allowing you to confidently develop a home practice. The class caters for complete beginners, who work with a safe and foundational practice, whilst offering deeper and more advanced posture work to the more experienced. It is important for each class member to practice for themselves and their body/mind and this is very much supported and explored in Susie's teaching methods.
Mental and emotional balance is also a core focus of the yoga practices, with encouragement to focus the mind and deepen present moment awareness. Mental and emotional balance is vital to one's quality of life and maintains health and balance in the body. Stress and anxiety create illness and disease and can be greater avoided through homeostasis and positive mental health.
Completion of a BWY health questionnaire is required before beginning the class. As well as for insurance cover, this allows consideration of any health issues and to ensure you both benefit from your practice and can work safely. Susie very much welcomes both men and women to the class and has a mix of both men and women attending classes.
A full range of equipment is provided including mats, blocks, straps, bolsters and blankets. Feel free to contact Susie for more information.

Lovely yoga teacher, lovely flow in her sessions.
We always leave relaxed and inspired.
Can not recommend highly enough.
I really enjoy Susie’s classes. She has an excellent teaching style that is easy to follow and she is always very supportive and inspiring.
Susie runs a very relaxed class, and goes out of her way to accommodate everyone.
We have been attending her class for a year and a half now, and are now free from aches and pains!
Highly recommended.
At times I need some adjustments to poses that allow me to fully participate in the yoga practice. Susie has made this all possible by her gentle consideration of everybody’s needs. Possibly the first time I have really enjoyed classes because of this. Susie is a sympathetic practitioner for which I am very grateful.
Really special class – lovely teacher, highly recommended.
Susie is a wonderful teacher, so calm and gentle. I always come away from her classes feeling supple and totally relaxed. I highly recommend her.
Wonderful practice thank you
Susie is a conscientious and informative instructor. She considers everyone’s comfort and wellbeing throughout the class. She incorporates a proper ‘warm up’ and relaxation so I always feel the benefits but no discomfort after a class.
The weekly benefits are subtle but positive- my psychological health really benefits from this weekly contact. Susie creates a lovely balance between practice and theory, explaining why. The opportunity to practice mindfulness is an added bonus.
I wholeheartedly recommend Susie’s yoga-always adaptable, doable, excellently restorative, calming and enriching in many ways.
Susie is a caring, kind, professional yoga teacher. I always finish the practice feeling physically and mentally improved.

Susie is an amazing yoga teacher and caters for all abilities. I leave every class feeling calm, happy and somehow energised at the same time. If you haven’t tried yoga or haven’t practiced for some time, give one of her classes a go as I’m sure you won’t be disappointed
Susie is a great encourager, making everyone, no matter what level they are working at, comfortable and relaxed. This enables us all to benefit from her classes.
I didn’t know anyone who attended the classes, but Susie immediately made me feel safe and welcome.
It is obvious from her commitment that she cares very much about Yoga and the people that attend her classes.

I have been having online 1 to 1 yoga sessions with Susie for some months now. I have long COVID and these sessions have been so beneficial for my physical and emotional health. Susie tailors the sessions to suit how I am on the day and this sometimes means making some changes during the session, which she is adept at doing. Susie is a wonderful teacher and I do not feel that I am missing out by being on line. She still checks my movements, gives positive feedback and advice. The sessions are never hurried and I always finish feeling… Read more »
