About Yoga Soul Sisters
Sue and Wendy met in 1993 at pregnancy exercise classes when they were both expecting their first child. When Wendy’s son was diagnosed with Autism aged two, Sue, a qualified teacher, volunteered to help with his home education program. Sue put her heart and soul into helping Wendy through this difficult journey and stood beside her as a sister. A deep and enduring friendship formed.
Despite the families moving 2000 km apart, the friendship continued with family holidays, retreats and study trips together. Wendy and Sue both have a long standing passion for yoga and wellness and decided to share their experience and knowledge with others by joining in a business partnership: “Yoga Soul Sisters”
“The thing I love about Sue is that she makes me laugh. I am the more serious practical one and she reminds me that sometimes you just have to let go, have fun, and enjoy life!”
“Wendy is the Yin to my Yang. We have travelled many journeys together and our Yoga journey has now evolved into a beautiful business through which we can share our passion with others. ‘Wise Wendy’, is very calm and grounded. She offers kind words of wisdom and a good dose of motivation and direction when needed.
SUE POPE
I fell in love with Yin yoga after my first class. I felt like I was home and it was this practice that completely changed my direction in life and led me to where I am today. The still, quiet and meditative practice is open to everybody regardless of age, body shape or level of fitness. It allows us to slow down, become aware & be totally present which brings balance & harmony to the body & mind. It is medicine for the soul.
