Suzanne Burns

Teacher // Studio Owner

Suzanne's love for yoga began in 2009 while living and working in Washington, DC. In 2012, after several years of developing a regular practice, Suzanne enrolled in her first yoga teacher training with Down Dog Yoga, a Baptiste Power Yoga affiliate studio located in Georgetown. In 2014 Suzanne had begun to teach several classes in gyms and studios and was actively volunteering with young adults with special needs. In a quest to gain more knowledge and to bring the practice of yoga to differently abled young adults and children, Suzanne studied to become a licensed practitioner of Yoga for the Special Child.

What draws Suzanne to the practice of yoga, and what she continuously shares when leading a class, is yoga's ability to build community through individual empowerment. Suzanne founded Humble Haven Yoga in 2013 while teaching in community spaces, studios, and one-on-one within clients' homes. In 2015, Suzanne decided to return to her hometown of Richmond, VA. With a passion for power yoga and a desire to share it with the Richmond community, Suzanne opened Humble Haven's first brick and mortar location in January 2016.

In addition to building community within the walls of Humble Haven, Suzanne and her team work with local non-profit organizations to bring the empowering, resilient building practices of yoga to adults with diverse needs. When she's not in the front of or on her mat at the studio, you can typically find Suzanne somewhere outside around in Richmond or in her own backyard with her husband Steve and three kids, Holt, June, and Louis.
