Student Testimonials

Soozie is an incredible teacher that leads with warmth and empathy. As someone who struggles to maintain a consistent exercise routine, I've found that I look forward to Soozie's classes and am excited to jump into her on-demand videos. Not only does Soozie deliver a completely unique experience with yoga, meditation, and qi gong interwoven into her sessions, she also explains the historical/cultural context behind the movements, leading you to move with intention and purpose vs. just mirroring an instructor. If you're looking to do some healing and find self-love, Soozie is a great place to start. She's helped me build confidence in my practice, as well as a stronger awareness of and love for myself.

Soozie introduced me to a powerful form of yoga and meditation that I never knew. The wisdom that seems to naturally come from this strong, yet humble human being relaxes yet motivates me every time I join her class. She somehow teaches complex moves in such a graceful way that by the end of the session, I can do something I never thought possible. Soozie, you stimulate my aspiring yogi senses, and I can't wait to join another class with you! Thank you for being you!

Soozie’s energy is magnetic! I so look forward to the days that my schedule works to connect to her live sessions. Soozie’s voice and stories are energizing. I love that she focuses on the seasons and teaches how our bodies are connected to this world.

I love to experience Soozie’s vibe. I really enjoy when she giggles at herself and brings her experiences from classes she has taken to share with us (the students). The unique nature of her lessons that include activity for body, mental state, spiritual connection is unmatched. I wish there were more hours in the day so that I could connect with her live whenever she shares time in her day. But the days that I can connect are my favorite days.

I am so thankful that I found Soozie through a yoga class at work. I went beyond that to sign up for her courses online and learn so much from what she has dedicated her life to sharing. I look forward to the time that I can enjoy learning from her and the videos she shares. Worth every minute, and more.

Soozie, thank you for your melting pot of knowledge! It has really opened my mind to teachings and movement possibilities in my practice and teaching.

Soozie Kinstler is a princess of yoga and ambassador, she is much more than “just a yoga teacher.” To put it simply – Soozie changed my life. When I met her, I had just come home from a tour in Afghanistan, and I was morally and spiritually bankrupt. Suffering from PTSD an advisor suggested I try yoga as a way to relax and calm my mind. I knew nothing about yoga, its origins in India, the philosophy, and practices.

I found the closest yoga studio to my apartment in Washington, D.C., and that is where I met the divine Ms. Kinstler, who would become not only my yoga teacher but my spiritual guide to a new path for my life. Soozie took me by the hand and walked me from a total beginner to “Student of the Month” at our studio. She taught me the asanas (postures), of course, but so much more than that, she taught me the spiritual side of yoga. She teaches the history and philosophy of yoga (e.g., The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali) and how to internalize and make yoga part of who we are. She did this for me, and it opened a new trajectory for my life. Yoga is part of who I am today – it can’t be separated out. Everything I do is with devotion and mindfulness and a set of core yoga principles I learned from Soozie. I am truly living out my dreams, and so can you. Wherever you are in your life, Soozie can meet you there and take you on a journey to a magical existence. Trust me – she did for me. Much love to you Soozie!
