Susanna was born in Rome, and lived in Copenhagen for about fifteen years where she taught Ashtanga Yoga together with her partner Jens Bache in her school Ashtanga Yoga Copenhagen. She goes to Mysore in India every year to study and deepen her practice with her teacher R. Sharath Jois, nephew of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, the late Guru of Ashtanga Yoga. She has received authorisation to teach Level 2. She has also taken part in Sharath’s special teaching courses held exclusively for teachers authorised by the KPJAYI of Mysore.
In September 1993, at the age of thirty, a friend spoke to her in such a positive way about Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and its dynamism that she was intrigued. From that first class she never stopped practising and from that moment onwards little by little Yoga entered her life and changed its direction. As a herbalist interested in Yoga she then became a full-time yoga teacher over seven years, moving from Rome to Copenhagen in 2001.
In 1995 and 1996 she made her first trips to Mysore to practise with Guruji, a beautiful, unforgettable and very intense experience. She met Guruji, Saraswathi and Sharath again in Helsinki in 2001 during a workshop and then decided together with Jens to go to Mysore to practise with him again. From 2003 she returned regularly to Mysore to practise and deepen Yoga under the careful and vigilant guidance of Sharath and until 2009 of Guruji and Saraswathi.
During her travels to Mysore, in addition to deepening her practice with Guruji and Sharath, she began to study Sanskrit, chanting and philosophy with Lakshmish Bhat, Dr. Jayashree and Prof. Narasimhan. She deepened her knowledge of Sanskrit with Prof. Ken Zysk at the University of Copenhagen.
