"I am a creature of habit, as are we all. Every year I make plans to give up old habits and start new ones. I always fail, and quickly. It is not just a matter of will. Anyone would tell you I am strong-willed to the point of stubborn. Suzanne gave me a new approach. She helped me to examine my daily routine, embrace my inner clock, and modify my behavior to incorporate new, healthy habits by understanding my personal, physical needs. And Suzanne did not create my new schedule alone, a testament to her loving, giving nature. She also provided me a community of like-minded women who nurtured and encouraged me. Thank you, Suzanne. I can’t wait for the next quarter."

With academic degrees in fine art and philosophy, and lived experience healing from physical injury and trauma through yogic and Ayurvedic practices, Suzanne brings both lived insight and compassion to her teaching. She received her foundational yoga trainings with teachers Jennilee Toner and Lauren Jay Toolin and later went on to study with a variety of living masters including Ram Lev and Devi. Her work has spanned from creating artwork for and co-publishing the book The Perfect Chaturanga: A Guide to Injury Prevention in Vinyasa Yoga to founding a nonprofit that brought yoga to inner-city teens, and supporting organizations like AyurPrana, The Wild Temple, and the American Meditation Institute. Today, she offers yoga health coaching and teaches classes, workshops, and trainings in service to the light of consciousness that lives in all beings.
Alex Rice graduated from the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque, NM as an Ayurvedic Practitioner and began working for AyurPrana right after graduation. It has been one of the greatest blessings of her life to work alongside Dr. Vasant Lad, B.A.M.S., M.A.Sc., world-renowned Ayurvedic physician, author, teacher, and founder of the Ayurvedic Institute, as she supported him in his consultations both in NM and after the move to Asheville, NC. She also assisted him in his webinars and immersions the last six months in ABQ.
Most recently, Alex was the primary onsite practitioner at SoHum Mountain Healing Resort supporting clients before, during and after their panchakarma (PK) experiences, providing initial consultations to non-PK guests, and supporting Dr. Vasant Lad with his PK clients. Meanwhile, she was also seeing her own clients, moderating AyurPrana’s seasonal Home Cleanses, teaching the second year students at the Ayurvedic Institute, and supervising in the Student Clinic.
