What Students Are Saying
Thoughtful, attentive teaching rooted in experience, care, and a deep understanding of the body—reflected in the voices of students and colleagues.
Rhonda Martyn Faculty, Cabrillo College Dance Department
Susan Merritt is the kind of yoga teacher you search for – thorough knowledge of anatomy, great sense of humor, experience grounded in serious study and many years of teaching, and finally a serenity of spirit to help you find what you need from your yoga practice.
Susan R., Long-term Student
I always feel safe in Susan’s classes. She’s really observant and fine-tunes everyone to the depth of the pose that is appropriate for their strength and flexibility.
Anne H., Physical Therapist
Susan Merritt is a Santa Cruz treasure. As a Parkinson’s patient I have benefitted greatly from her help with my balance, posture, gait, and flexibility. She has been remarkably responsive to unpredictable changes of my fluidity and mobility. Her observant eye and supportive touch have given me a sense of accomplishment after each session. She is certainly an invaluable resource for our community.
