Suzy Thompson

Suzy has completed her 500 hour RYT Vinyasa teacher training with Rolf Gates and is a member of Yoga Alliance.

Suzy discovered yoga in 1996 as a pediatric resident at Children’s National Medical Center. In this demanding environment, she found that yoga kept her calm, healthy and grounded despite her hectic lifestyle. She has continued to practice since that time, exploring different disciplines and the philosophy of yoga.

A practitioner of Iyengar yoga for thirteen years, Suzy developed a keen appreciation for alignment. Her discovery of Vinyasa yoga provided the perfect blend of vigorous flow, alignment principles, and the power of transformation. Becoming a teacher has allowed Suzy to share her passion and knowledge with her students.  The opportunity to share her love of yoga with adolescents, particularly athletes, has been a long-time goal. Suzy is excited to bring her knowledge and skill sets from medicine and yoga together in order to encourage students towards healthy, empowered, injury-free living.

Suzy was co-owener of The Source Yoga in McLean, VA.  She has worked with numerous area athletic teams on the high school, collegiate, and pro level, including DC United - the Washington DC MLS men's soccer team.  When she’s not practicing or teaching, you can find Suzy spending time with her twin boys and Westies.  She enjoys skiing, surfing, and cooking for her family.
