Your Retreat Leads
Suzanne Burns
Suzanne began practicing yoga on a regular basis in 2008 when she attended her first Hot Yoga class in Washington, DC where she was living at the time. Although she didn’t know it, beginning a regular yoga practice was a remedy for working through feelings of grief after losing her grandmother. The tools that the yoga practice provides - breath, concentration, self study, movement - in any given class have carried Suzanne through that season and many seasons of change and personal evolution since then.
As a student Suzanne has trained in Power, Integral, Kundalini, and Forrest Yoga. As a teacher, she pulls from each of these lineages of practice to meet each individual practitioner exactly where and as they are and provide unique access points of self discovery through movement and meditation.
As the founder and creator of Humble Haven Yoga, Suzanne doesn’t believe in just doing yoga, but living yoga and knows the power of immersing oneself in a retreat experience to reinvigorate, inspire, or begin doing just that.
Camille Heller
Camille is an NYC transplant, having moved to RVA in December of 2017. Like many yogis, Camille's practice was born in the midst of a life-career-relationship transition, over the summer of 2007. In an effort to figure out life's next steps, Camille took a summer sabbatical of "funemployment" to close out a rocky chapter in LA with intention, trading traffic on the 405 for a few months of life-planning, beach cruising and yoga. Those months spent on the water and on her mat were the catalyst for courageous change in her life.
Landing back in New York at the end of that summer, she found a home at Lyons Den Power Yoga, as a student, then eventually, a teacher of Baptiste Power Yoga.The practices of asana, inquiry, and meditation have consistently provided her with the tools to handle transformative shifts both on and off her mat. More often than not, these shifts have been disruptive, uncomfortable, messy AND necessary. In addition to her Baptiste training, Camille most recently studied with Albina and Roger Rippy for her 300-HR YTT.
As a teacher, Camille aims to help students create a balance of effort and ease, in both their bodies and minds, through the practice of moving past their physical comfort zones into a new place of discovery. Camille's teaching style is a combination of tough love, anatomy-nerd and spiritual TED talk, rolled into one, supported by a well-curated playlist.
