Susi Amendola created Yoga Now in 1983! She has humbly taught weekly Yoga classes and trained thousands of Yoga teachers both locally and nationally for more than 40 years.

With her expertise in both ancient practices of Himalayan Hatha Yoga and 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! We’re grateful for her wisdom and beautifully simple practices she offers us in this award winning book.

Susi served for more than 30 years as the National Director and Senior Trainer of Stress Management for Ornish Lifestyle Medicine, a 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 illuminating speaker and presenter at many conferences, businesses, and symposiums on health and wellness. She’s also published hundreds of articles through Ornish Lifestyle Medicine on the uses and benefits of Yoga.

We are so grateful to have her guidance and compassion as she continues to share Yoga from her heart.
