Susan Porter

LCSW, RYT200hr

I came to yoga as a clinical social worker looking for ways to support patients I work with who have sickle cell disease and chronic pain. I earned my RYT 200 from Subtle Yoga in Asheville, NC in 2022 after a journey from learning how yoga can help with chronic pain, to starting to heal from some of my own mental health challenges. I approach my clinical work and yoga practice from a trauma informed place, knowing that our bodies can store so much hurt and also do so much to protect us. Yoga has helped me learn to be more compassionate to myself, my body, and others and I feel privileged to be able to share that loving kindness through my practice.
