The Youthful Older Yogi

Change Agent with Sue Burden

MJ Waddell Season 2 Episode 10

In this episode, MJ talks with "Change Agent" Sue Burden about the challenges of being labeled, her weight journey, taking yoga classes internationally, helping others find acceptance no matter what their age or ability and of course staying youthful.

After a 40+ year career as a retail executive, Sue Burden asked herself, "What's next?" She leaned into her 20 year passion for yoga to build strength. The mat became her space to work through adapting to her new retired lifestyle. Over time her yoga instructors encouraged her to explore teaching yoga and to share her passion.  In January 2024 she completed her studies and earned her RYT 500-hour certification with
Yoga Alliance. She started a yoga teaching career in her mid 60's.

As a Hatha Yoga teacher, her passion is Yoga for all ages. Sues' special connection is with the over 50 age group wishing to exercise smarter rather than harder. No matter your age, she believes the mat can be a place of release and escape from thoughts & emotions to reach the ultimate in mindfulness.

Sues' yoga philosophy is: Be kind to yourself. This opens the doors to calm breathing, allows for stretching and free movement resulting in stress relief, balance, compassion and a connection with ourselves.

 She continues to broaden her yoga experience off the mat and into the water.  Sue received certification as an Aqua Yoga instructor in May 2024.  

"Yoga has given me so many gifts like mindfulness, acceptance, stress relief and so much more.  My goal is to connect and share this gift with others."
If you've ever thought you're "too old" to start something new, this episode is for you.
Sue defies typical limitations and will inspire your sense of curiosity at any age!
