About Me

Hello, I’m Susie Hartnoll, a Physiotherapist with a long-standing love for yoga. I bring these two worlds together in my work.

I qualified as a Physiotherapist in 2014, completing an MSc (Distinction) at the University of Birmingham following a BSc Hons in Human Physiology. Since qualifying, I have worked across a range of physiotherapy specialities and settings, including public hospitals, aged care and private practice.

My yoga journey began in 2004 and has remained an anchor and source of connection in my life. I completed my first 200-hour Vinyasa Flow teacher training in 2008 and later qualified as a yoga teacher with the British Wheel of Yoga in 2012. Before becoming a Physiotherapist, I taught yoga in the South West of the UK, and I have also had the privilege of practising Ashtanga Yoga in Mysore, India.

I have contributed to research in this field, co-authoring a peer-reviewed article published in the International Journal of Yoga Therapy exploring the relationship between yoga practice and motor imagery in movement and rehabilitation.

How I can help

I offer online physiotherapy for people experiencing pain, injury or difficulty with movement. I assess your symptoms, movement and goals to develop a practical, individualised approach to help you move and feel better.

I also work with yoga students and practitioners who want to understand their movement in more depth — whether you’re experiencing discomfort in your practice or finding a particular asana or transition challenging.

I specialise in movement analysis for yoga. I look closely at how you move, considering your individual anatomy, mobility, strength and movement patterns — rather than relying on an algorithm or a standardised protocol. Your movement analysis forms the basis of an individualised exercise programme. I also offer follow-up sessions to review your progress and adapt your programme as needed.

I run workshops and CPD for yoga teachers and students, exploring musculoskeletal health, anatomy, movement and asana through a physiotherapy lens.

Whether you’re looking for help with pain or injury, or want to explore your yoga movement in more detail, I can help you understand what’s happening in your body and explore how you can work with it.
