Ryoko Suzuki, MS, ATC, CSCS, LMT, RYT

Ryoko ("Lyo-ko") recently moved to Nashville from Knoxville TN. She is one of a few registered Svaroopa® Yoga teachers in the state of TN. After her extensive and thoughtful study of Western medicine, different styles of Yoga and Qigong, Ryoko discovered the most benefit (physical, mental and emotional transformation) and true teaching of Yoga in her study and teaching of Svaroopa® Yoga, which focuses on releasing deep layers of spinal tension.

Under the guidance of Swami Nirmalaananda Saraswati, Ryoko continues to study Svaroopa® Yoga, Yoga Therapy, and meditation through the Master Yoga Foundation in Malvern, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia. Ryoko’s passion for teaching and extensive therapist experience makes her classes truly unique, warm, joyful, peaceful, meditative, and therapeutic as well as providing a safe environment for learning.

Ryoko brings over 10 years of clinical manual therapist experience, treating and educating patients of all ages and athletes from all levels (Olympian gold medalist, professional to youth football leagues), with orthopedic injuries, repetitive use conditions, automobile accident injuries, and spine disorders. In addition to different Eastern healing modalities and Western osteopathic manual therapy techniques, Ryoko also has used Yoga as an integral part of rehabilitation with great success in Orthopedic Physical Therapy settings. Ryoko is also available for one-on-one healing sessions and private/semi-private yoga classes. For more info, visit http://www.HealingSpiritBodywork.com.
