Suchana Kullayanavisut, RYT 500
My experience living in Thailand and the US combined with a passion for health, cultivated my desire to find balance in everyday life from a young age. Having experienced the challenges and joy of living in both Eastern and Western culture, this allowed for me to be open and learn to adapt to the experiences of everyday life.
I was an avid runner for several years until a knee injury at age 20 opened me to redefine my activity and a way to relieve stress. Through this process I discovered that yoga can be a foundation for health and well-being in any person’s lifestyles - regardless of age or fitness level. Yoga is not just asana/poses, it is a preparatory for individuals to learn how to connect with our inner self, find balance and your definition of meditation.
Having self studied yoga for over 10 years, I completed my 500 hour Yoga certification in 2013, with emphasis in alignment techniques and mind-body awareness. Through the practice of integrating different modalities, synchronicity of movement and breath we have the ability to find the stillness and the light that is within all of us.
I teach yoga and meditation because it has changed my life. It took me many years and living at moments, through roller coaster of life: uncertainties, fear, injuries, and deaths. With time and practice, I’ve learned to feel comfortable in my own skin, know I’m on the right path and found moments of peace within. I am more connected with myself, family, community and the unknown. As a mindful and compassionate practitioner I seek to share the physical and mindful benefits of yoga, meditation, movement and sound healing.
To living more comfortably and confidently within ourselves!

“If I am taking a class taught by Suchana I know I am learning from the best possible teacher. I have taken Suchana's classes for years and continue to enhance my life and health from what I learn from her. Suchana's yoga classes and meditation retreat have taught me the science behind the physical, mental and emotional benefits of these practices. I have always felt very safe and comfortable because of the mood she creates in her classes - one of kindness, respect, and honoring the health journey of each student. She mixes this depth and sanctity with a contagious sense of humor, making for a peaceful, fun environment.”

“I have been meditating on and off for the past 30 years. I somehow fall out of the practice because it becomes a “suppose” to do thing. I went to Suchana’s Aldermarsh retreat to see if I could find a different way to approach meditation. I must say, she definitely helped get me unstuck. Her teaching style and concepts transformed my idea of meditation from a chore to something that can be enjoyable!”
~ Shawn R.
“Suchana is a gifted teacher and facilitator who put love, fun and skill into all aspects of the retreat. I enjoyed the mix of movement, sound and stillness and felt safe to let emotions arise. I liked the handouts with supporting material and practices to continue at home. The vegetarian food and wooded marsh setting were fabulous.”

“I was fortunate and blessed to attend my first meditation retreat with Suchana back in Spring 2021. It was quite an experience like no other. I am normally an introvert person so meeting and being with people for a whole weekend I barely knew, was not my cup of tea. However, after the opening session on Friday evening, I felt truly welcomed and encouraged by everyone. I learned a lot about myself, how to be in the present and how to nourish one's well being in order for me to be a blessing to others. Long story short, I was hooked by the time I left Sunday afternoon that I was looking forward to attending one again in the near future!”
~ Arlene A.
“I didn't have any experience in meditation techniques. Suchana made it very comfortable and it was a phenomena experience that changed the course of how I approach daily life. The setting at Aldermarsh is also beautiful and inviting.”
~ Marisa M.
“There is a simple math equation. Suchana plus Aldermarsh equals universe. Two healers coming together in such a beautiful way! ❤️”
