Ulla Lundgren My first experience with yoga was in my native country Sweden during the mid 80s. Acting (my former vocation) brought me to Los Angeles in 1988, where I began a continuous yoga asana practice a year later. After receiving my first yoga teacher certification, I began teaching in 1995. That same year, I began studying Ashtanga vinyasa yoga with Tim Miller and David Swenson; for the next 6 years, I continued my studies with Tim and David. In the fall of 2001, I met John Friend and fell in love with Anusara Yoga®. In my first class with John, I felt like I had come home: Anusara was the yoga I had been longing for in the depth of my heart. After more than 800 hours of studies — including numerous teacher trainings and apprenticeships with John Friend and other senior instructors — I received my Anusara Yoga® certification in the fall of 2005.   In 1997, I founded The Yoga Experience, now a thriving Anusara Yoga® studio in Flagstaff, Arizona. Currently I am teaching weekly classes in my new home of Bend, Oregon. I also teach workshops, immersions, teacher’s trainings, and retreats in the U.S. and Europe. My life and teaching are both inspired by my brilliant teachers: Anusara Yoga® founder John Friend and Dr. Douglas Brooks. Dr. Brooks is one of the world’s foremost scholars of Hindu Tantrism and the esoteric traditions of the Goddess. I love to integrate yoga philosophy, myths, and stories into my classes. My teaching style blends fun and adventure balanced with mindful attention to physical alignment as well as alignment with one’s heart, inner intentions, and hopes for living a truly meaningful life.

Susan Rhoads Susan Rhoades has been studying yoga since 1991 when she was 8 months pregnant with her daughter to help her to deal with feelings of fear she had from her son’s birth. She attributes her ability to be confident, calm and present throughout the process of labor and delivery to her yoga practice. Since that time, using the techniques of yoga to help embrace difficult life challenges has been a recurrent theme throughout Susan’s life. Today she practices yoga to stay grounded, joyous and playful.   The two most influential teachers in Susan’s life have been Dr. Vasant Lad, who was her first teacher of Ayurveda and with whom she has studied since 1999 and John Friend, the founder of Anusara Yoga who she met and has been studying with since 2003.   Susan enthusiastically combines the two sister philosophies of Ayurveda and Anusara in her yoga practice and teaching.     Drawing on personal experiences, Susan creates an open-hearted and exuberant learning environment in her ayurveda and yoga classes.
