My husband Billy and I found Humble Haven Yoga in the summer of 2020 and started joining the Zoom classes in an attempt to survive the pandemic shutdown. For the next year, we found community and strength with people we had never met while practicing at home together. We will be forever grateful to Suzanne, Camille, Jennie Ray, Margo, Tarole, Andrea, and everyone else for what they did to make that possible.

Suzanne’s yoga practice began in 2008 out of curiosity for the physical nature of the practice, but she quickly realized that the practice was also supporting her in reducing unnecessary anxiety, as well as, processing the recent loss of a loved one. Suzanne’s training crosses many lineages of the yoga practice - Power Yoga, Kundalini, Integral Yoga, Yin, and Hatha. She is passionate about making classes and spaces accessible to all individuals who desire to participate, particularly individuals with varying disabilities, and her advocacy extends beyond the world of yoga and into the realm of inclusive employment and education. When not teaching, you will most likely find Suzanne enjoying outdoor spaces around Richmond with friends, her husband, and three kids. 

England took her first Hamstrings, Hips, and Spine class in 2020, in an effort to find inner peace during a time of global uncertainty. While having practiced yoga sporadically for years at different studios, she found a refuge at Humble Haven. The practice, staff, and community have all played an indispensable role in her mental health and spiritual journey. Outside of the studio, England is a full-time real estate agent and home stager, while also taking on part-time interior design jobs. She is immensely grateful for a career that leaves her with the time and energy for her other passions in life, like yoga, pottery, and fashion design.

Alicia is a meditation teacher, mentor and holistic coach. She has been teaching yoga and meditation for almost 20 years and was the owner of Ashtanga Yoga Richmond for 14 years. A seeker by nature, Alicia landed in her first yoga class in her late 20’s and has since been listening and following a wish to live more consciously and awake. Her background is rooted in ashtanga yoga which eventually led her to meditation where she continues to be in an inner work with her teacher Pat Buxton. Learning to sit, peeling back the layers of her humanness, and using the material of her life - the ordinary moments to the most challenging conditions - has been most influential in creating real change and given Alicia the opportunity to experience herself differently.
