Sat Nam! My name is Susan Helbing and I teach Kundalini yoga.I was once a relentlessly helpful person to everyone else but rarely to myself.I’ve always had a strong passion for animals, nature and visual art.
After my first class in 2015, I became hooked on this practice of transformation. What I noticed overtime was how kundalini yoga successfully reunited me with my true self.

Sat Nam means Truth is my identity or essence. Being true to yourself creates the purpose or desire of your soul. I became more trusting in myself which grounded me and I gained me more confidence. I began to attract more positivity into my life and had very little space for negativity. My perspective shifted and I felt more grateful about life. My choices became rooted more in the fulfillment of my soul rather than pleasing others or worried about how “society” is judging me.
