About Susan
Susan Hughes
I love teaching yoga. I love seeing everyone grow and flourish. I love seeing how everyone connects within themselves and with each other. Connecting with nature and our beautiful Mother Earth. Connecting through our breath. Having the right intentions is all that matters.
Planting that seed in early Spring and contracting and letting go in Autumn and being patient in Winter healing the kidney’s, bladder and our nervous system and in Summer our hearts are open and full. Seeing everything flourish again the following Spring. The seasons as we know have a beautiful cycle and so do we. The human body is amazing - nuture your body with good food, and just as important is your breath – allowing the mind and body to become one – filling our being with gratitude.
My teaching is based on the Japanese style of yoga.
Ryoho Wellness, developed by Andrej Gospodarczyk in 1982, is the sophisticated combination of traditional Indian Hatha yoga, the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Five Element Theory, the Meridian-Based Healing Arts of China and Japan, Transcendental Meditation and Breathing Techniques, Medicinal Nutrition and Shiatsu Treatments. It facilitates establishing a fundamental and sound platform for good health and a great lifestyle.
I am a fully qualified YTAA Yoga Instructor with over 25 years teaching experience and hold diplomas with Ryoho Yoga & Qi Yoga. I have guided and supported many people around the world to bring balance to their bodies and peace to their minds. Through my own yoga journey and healing myself, I love sharing what I’ve learnt with others. I have much gratitude for Andzej’s teaching and guidance.

“Susan Hughes has made a significant contribution to my health and wellbeing for the last 20 years. Partaking in her weekly intense yoga classes via my workplace (and occasionally at her home) has been very rewarding. Susan has a natural way to encompass all participants in the class, tailoring to anyone’s possible ailment at the time. I have suffered from TMJ (jaw pain) intermittently for quite a while, and her specific techniques have been so successful in adjusting me, I have not needed to manage the problem with a specialist for a very long time.
She also is particular with ‘technique and form’ and ensures everyone understands the benefits that each yoga move is providing to their bodies and mind. Susan works within the 4 seasons of the year, maximising the natural external elements to work in conjunction with our bodies. At the end of each class it is rewarding to see everyone looking uplifted, standing taller and straighter and ready to start their day with a focused mind and a strong body.”
