About Sue, Founder of Unity Yoga
“Be a light unto yourself'“ - The Buddha
Susan Horning (Sue) began her yoga journey at a young age, living overseas in Indonesia for her teen years, she was exposed to a range of cultural experiences, including visiting the temples of Borobodur. Prambanan, and Ankor Wat which stimulated her interest in eastern theologies and spiritual practices. Backpacking In her twenties, she travelled and concurrently completed her business degree at Simon Fraser University. She then enthusiastically committed herself to the pursuit of wholeness and spiritual study of subjects including classical Chinese astrology and feng shui, Thai bodywork, medical qi gong, and western herbal medicine.
Susan opened Unity Yoga Teahouse in 2006 near Braodway and Commercial in East Vancouver. She invited students to “drop in for yoga, and stay for tea'“. included a warm practice space and tea room to enjoy a variety of her herbal tea blends and a boutique store. Closed in 2020, Unity Yoga was a cultural wholistic hub for Vancouver’s diverse and thriving wellness seekers.
As her practice deepened and her community grew, and with the help of her companion instructors, Susan has led retreats locally to Stowel Lake Farm on Salt Spring Island and overseas trips to Guatemala and Costa Rica, and as far away as Lombok, Indonesia. Retreat inspiration blossomed from these journeys!
Sue is a lifelong learner, and is qualified with a 4-year diploma in Clinical Herbal Medicine, Thai Masseuse Practitioner Trainer certificate, and as a classical Chinese astrologist and feng shui consultant. It is her goal to work toward mastery of subjects that ignite her interest and move humanity toward wholeness.
Susan is now offering public glasses to her fellow gulf islands residents. She offers retreats and classes in a retreat setting close to nature and continues learning, teaching, and hosting retreats. For more information on these offerings, please visit unityretreats.ca.
