Susie Roy, School of Inspired Leadership

Susie Roy was initiated to Yoga through the International Sivananda Yoga School in Kerala, India, and completed the basic and advanced yoga teacher training programs. Since her initial training in 1998, she has been inspired and taught by many international yoga teachers and spiritual masters in India, USA, and South Africa. Her teaching experience covers individual and group classes, workshops, residential retreats and teacher training programs.

Susie is currently in her sixteenth year as visiting faculty member at the School of Inspired Leadership, Soil Institute of Management, Gurgaon, India where she formulated and conducts a course in Wellness through Yoga and basic Ayurveda. Over these years she has taught regularly with several senior corporate training programs in many parts of the globe. She teaches as faculty member of IndoGenius, a program delivering in-depth India educational learning experiences for foreign students.

Born in Prague, Czech Republic, in 1945, her family fled the communist rule in 1949 finding their way to South Africa where she spent her childhood and completed her studies. In 1974, she and her young family immigrated to the USA. For the next 18 years Susie lived the life of an American homemaker; raising the children, taking leadership roles in several charitable and art related organizations, assisting in the administration at her husband’s sports medicine clinic, and actively involved in tennis, long distance running, aerobics, and mountain climbing.

Her life changed drastically in 1992 when her husband chose to enter voluntary service in India. What began as her husband’s journey, turned out to be the journey of her life - a life of learning about, and adventuring through the wisdom of India. It opened in her the love of Indian scripture and culture, and the joy and honor of sharing what she has been taught and experienced in the practices of Yoga and Wellness.

Susie holds a BSc. (Hons.) Dietetics degree from the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa and a Diploma in Hospital Dietetics from the University of Iowa Hospitals, Iowa USA.

“I practice and share in gratitude to the amazing diverse world community I live in and the many teachers who continue to guide and inspire me; a joy that can’t be measured.”
