About Susan Deakin

Life is a journey, and sometimes we need a guide to help us find our way back to feeling vibrant, whole, and connected.

That’s why I’m here.

I understand what it’s like to face life’s twists and turns because I’ve walked this path myself.

A long marriage came to an end, COVID forced me to close the doors of my beloved yoga studio, and I had to rebuild my life from scratch. During those dark and uncertain days, I felt lost, overwhelmed, and unsure of my next step. My skin reflected my inner turmoil, and my spirit felt depleted. But even in that struggle, I found an anchor: Ayurveda—the world’s oldest healthcare system.

Ayurveda didn’t just support my healing; it reminded me of who I truly am. Its daily and seasonal practices kept my body strong, my mind steady, and my spirit open to possibility. Through this profound self-discovery, I regained my confidence, my health, and my sense of purpose.

What I Offer You

The wisdom of Ayurveda is at the heart of everything I teach..

About Susan Deakin

Blending seamlessly with yoga to create powerful programs that transform lives. My trainings and retreats are built on the belief that true self-healing happens when we connect deeply with who we are beyond our thoughts and emotions.

Together, we’ll:

  • Strengthen your body through yoga asanas and breathwork.
  • Cultivate mental clarity and emotional balance with meditation.
  • Foster self-awareness and courage through mentoring and community support.

In my programs, you’ll not only improve your health but also learn how to face life’s challenges with resilience and grace. You’ll join a circle of like-minded women who are committed to self-growth, self-discovery, and self-empowerment.

A Passion for Adventure

I’ve always believed that healing happens when we step out of our comfort zones and embrace new experiences. That’s why I lead international Health & Wellness retreats to breathtaking destinations around the world.

From the lush landscapes of Bali and the serene beauty of New Zealand’s South Island to the vibrant culture of Chiang Mai, Thailand, and the crystal-clear waters of Fiji, every retreat is a chance to connect, heal, and grow. This year, we’re heading to the enchanting Batanes in the Philippines, and in 2026, we’ll explore the wonders of Tanzania, Africa.
