I am saddened to hear of Susan's passing. I worked at YogaWorks for years and Susan's presence would always brighten my day! She was a kind and generous soul who always took the time out to chat about life and travels. May she rest in peace and travel to exotic destinations in the worlds beyond. May her adventurous spirit and sweet nature continue in her friends and family.
