Susan Tutino is the Owner/ Teacher at Strawberry Fields Yoga Backyard Sanctuary & Meditation Path. Her intention is to provide space for those interested in spiritual evolution, self realization, Krishna consciousness, chanting sacred mantra, The eight Limb path of yoga, and meditation as a philosophy/lifestyle Vs. yoga as exercise or a workout.
Her greatest influence has been one of her yoga/ spiritual teachers, John Smrtic. “I have been practicing with him for the past 6 years. He led me to the path of Bhakti Yoga and I am blessed to have gone on sacred pilgrimage to India with him three times now.”
One of Susan’s greatest accomplishments is finding a way to use her past experiences to create her current life. Another accomplishment she is proud of is getting her masters degree in counseling psychology and expressive movement therapy. “This led to my own healing work and Sharing with others as a therapist in many different settings. I draw upon my training, my own healing work, and my spiritual path to share with others in my sanctuary.”
“The best advice I have ever received and always continue to give is to be true to your most authentic self. Playing small does not serve you. Take up space, speak your truth,” Susan says.
“My biggest adversity/obstacle I have had to face would be my own healing story of trauma and addiction. Grateful to the life healing center in Sante Fe New Mexico: this is where I was introduced to the path of yoga as a healing and spiritual modality.”
Susan is currently working on a few projects including creating more art for the sanctuary that she holds all her classes in. “I also teach yoga classes to clients at the Bridge to Recovery, which is a residential facility for trauma and addiction where I used to work as a therapist. I am currently planning some programs to share there as well.”
For fun and relaxation, Susan plays her harmonium, chants mantra, and spends time in her sanctuary enjoying the sunshine with the birds and squirrels. She also enjoys creating art and loves to dance.” I am currently reading Like a Thousand Suns/ Eknath Easwaran (Bhagavad Gita for Daily Living)”
