Been hanging out on the yoga mat since 1991.
Born in the countryside of Fort Payne, Alabama, Mary Susan Stults Sassone moved west with her family and was raised in colorful Southwest Utah in the festival city of Cedar City. After moving to Colorado in 2001 to attend CU Boulder, she made Colorado her mountain home for nearly 20 years until she followed her heart to the garden island of Kaua'i, Hawaii in 2018.
Mary Susan’s yoga and meditation practice and path began with her mother as a child at home in 1991 and continued in the studio at the age of 14 in 1997 with the practice of Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga as taught by Sri. K Pattabhi Jois. Mary practiced Hatha, Ashtanga Yoga, and Iyengar Yoga as taught by BKS Iyengar throughout highschool and early college and in 2002 began practicing at Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor's studio, the Yoga Workshop in Boulder, Colorado. Mary had the blessing and good fortune to be introduced to Master and Mentor-Teacher Maty Ezraty with whom she studied intensively, mentored with, and assisted until her passing in 2019. Over thousands of hours and many years of study and practice, Maty influenced Mary Susan’s practice and life on and off the yoga mat greatly and will forever be her greatest teacher and influence. Mary Susan teaches in the U.S and internationally and is an experienced Yoga & Meditation teacher, educator and teacher trainer, and mentor. She is a forever student of yoga and life and celebrates the practice as a life-long journey. She teaches a knowledgeable, dynamic, and refreshing Hatha yoga practice that intelligently weaves together the traditions of Iyengar Yoga and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. She also enjoys teaching Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Therapeutic Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and Insight and Mindful Meditation. Mary Susan teaches yoga and meditation full-time at home in Hawaii and internationally, and is passionate about helping others cultivate greater ease in daily life, live well, and return home one breath and one practice at a time.
