Discovering the calm of yoga class at a local gym while her little kids were in the babysitting room was Susie Rubin’s introduction to yoga.  Fifteen years later, Susie is now an inspiring yoga instructor and teacher trainer.  She shares how her understanding of yoga has deepened her compassionate view of others and acceptance of her own vulnerabilities. And how it helped when she was diagnosed with breast cancer last summer. We had a beautiful conversation.  Even if you don’t know yoga, Susie will inspire you and really make your day.Topics include:Her early career as a copywriter with Conde NastNo judgement, no mirrors:  the positive early encounters with yogaFinding profound meaning in the motto: “The greatest teacher lies within”Deepening her practice through study of yoga’s history and philosophyBecoming a certified yoga instructor, now running a teacher training programHow yoga classrooms can be a microcosm of the worldGetting her cancer diagnosis and getting through it with yoga and meditationHow she saved her hair through “cold capping” during cancer treatmentHer advice for getting through anxious days of bad newsPracticing gratitude even on the toughest daysSusie Rubin has practiced yoga since 2004; receiving her first RYT 200 hours in Yoga, Meditation and Pranayama from NY's Integral Yoga Institute. In the fall of 2016, Susie completed a second 200-hour RYT focused on Hot Vinyasa, Yin Yoga and the Ashtanga Primary Series. Since then, she’s become increasingly drawn to the rigor, discipline and healing properties of a daily Mysore practice. In the spring and summer of 2018, Susie was fortunate enough to train among a small group of teachers led by Manju Jois. He, along with her teachers past and present inspire her to keep studying, stay humble and never forget the joy that compassionate yoga delivers. She recently completed her 500 HR RYT.Resources:www.susierubinyoga.com
