Journey to Cambodia

About Suzanne

I am a 40 year old stay at home mom of 3 young children, ages 9,6 and 3. Prior to having children, I was in Real Estate Finance. I have been practicing yoga for about 5 years and know that it has changed my life. I have practiced primarily with Tina Lanzoni at Evolve Yoga (part of Evolutions). The best way to describe Tina is that as she is so comfortable in her own skin, she allows you to be the same. Taking one of her yoga clases leaves you magically feeling better about yourself. Yoga has helped me to strengthen my body and mind, challenging me physically and raising me up spiritually.

I recently took a yoga workshop with Seane Corne, another wonderful yoga teacher, as well as an activist for many worthy causes. When I heard of this opportunity to raise money for orphans in Cambodia and to actually be a part of the trip myself, I was inspired. I was particularly touched by the fact that many young parents there are dying from Aids (creating orphans)and many young girls are being sold as sex slaves. This is only the beginning of my journey and how I can give back. My long term goal is to begin teaching yoga either in shelters or low income areas where people would not otherwise afford such an oportunity. I believe that these women, some of whom have been abused physically, verbally or sexually, could be uplifted by practicing yoga. By improving their inner and outer strength, the possibilities are endless.
