NEWEST TEACher Trainee
Susan Koschel
Susan has been a student of Polly since the school first opened in Hervey Bay in 2013 and has now finally committed to the teacher development program.
Although a new kid on the block as a yoga teacher trainee, she brings with her a wealth of small group teaching experience from her kinesiology school.
Susan began working as a kinesiology practitioner in 2001 and has been teaching kinesiology since 2009. There are many similarities between yoga and kinesiology - of course yoga has a richly documented history of thousands of years and kinesiology is very young in comparison. Blending the two philosophies is great for students new to yoga.
Susan offers Intro to Yoga classes for those new to yoga or who want to better understand the poses on a Tuesday evening. Susan can be contacted on 0407139684
