Susi Amendola ERYT500 & C-IAYT created Yoga Now in 1983, and has taught weekly Yoga classes and trained thousands of Yoga teachers both locally and nationally for over 40 years!

With her expertise in both the ancient practices of Himalayan Hatha Yoga as well as within the western medical world, Susi’s teachings and classes are unlike anything else you will find. She recently published her first book: The Centered Heart!

As the National Director and Senior Trainer of Stress Management for Ornish Lifestyle Medicine, Susi served for more than 30 years in the program for reversing heart disease without drugs or surgery by including Yoga as part of a multi-dimensional approach to healing. She traveled extensively to train and mentor hospital teams in delivering this intervention covered by Medicare under the guidelines of Intensive Cardiac Rehab. 

Susi has been an esteemed guest speaker and presenter at many conferences, businesses, and symposiums on health and wellness. She has also published hundreds of articles through Ornish Lifestyle Medicine on the uses and benefits of Yoga.

We are so grateful to have her wisdom, her kindness and compassion as she continues to practice, teach and share Yoga from her heart.
