Yoga

Bhakti Yoga is one of the four main yogic paths to enlightenment... It infuses joy, divine ecstasy, bliss, peace, and knowledge- Swami Sivananda Saraswati

Susan Kiskis (Jyoti Ma Devi), RYT 300, is a yoga teacher and kirtan wallah with nearly three decades of experience in the practice and study of yoga. She has studied extensively with teachers across the U.S., Europe, and India, most notably with Swamini Shraddhananda Saraswati of Kula Kamala, and has completed trainings in yin yoga, restorative yoga, yoga nidra, and more. She is also an Ayurvedic yoga specialist.

​

Susan has taught workshops and led kirtan internationally (U.S., Ireland, Canada, Austria, India), traveling frequently to India to deepen her practice. As a founding member of the kirtan group The Mas and The Babas, she has toured the U.S. East Coast sharing this devotional chanting tradition. She leads group retreats to India.

​

Her teaching honors the foundations of traditional yoga while meeting students where they are, helping practitioners cultivate a deeper connection to themselves and the world around them.
