“I had a brain aneurysm 10 years ago and had to rebuild my body and strength. The Traffic Light Method gives me ideas going forward in teaching restorative yoga to those in recovery.”
“I've been experiencing chronic pain this year. This training was a fresh reminder that I don't have to shut the door on my beloved yoga practice just because Ashtanga isn't accessible right now.”
“I was stuck for a couple of years — until I completed this course! I now know how to set up my health coaching business, all in the context of my well-being being foundational to the well-being of my business.”
“Holy moly — this course helped me clarify, name and map my own well-being. Now I feel organized, motivated, and excited to get myself in the picture.”

“The Well-Being Ultimatum offers guidance for public health professionals to plan, implement and sustain their own personal recovery strategy. It's a great resource!”

“Suzie has the greatest understanding of the totality of mind-body practice that I have ever seen in one human being — and she can transmit that understanding to others in a way that touches them deeply. One of the greatest teachers I have ever known.”
“In just one session, she helped me identify my target market, craft a purpose statement, and articulate my elevator pitch in a way that finally clicked! She doesn't just teach — she shows up for her graduates long after certification.”
“Her YogaMedCo training program enabled me to grow not only in my professional skills but also in my own personal development. Her approach to show up for her trainees is inspiring and life changing.”
“Suzie was one of my first yoga teachers, and one of the best I have ever encountered. Her knowledge and expertise in the fitness industry, the health sciences, and interpersonal communication is admirable. A true Guru.”
“Suzie is amazing and I miss her so much. I strongly recommend her as a trainer and life coach.”
“Suzie is a wonderful instructor who focuses on total body health. Personable and creative, she consistently provides outstanding classes and programs.”
“Suzie is the consummate professional. She has worked many times with our Fairfax County Public Schools theatre teachers delivering relaxation workshops, and has always delivered an awesome session!”
“I went to Suzie when physician-recommended exercises weren't helping my knee. In our first session she identified something in my alignment I needed to know, and took time to understand what I really wanted. She has expert knowledge of the physical and emotional sides of people.”
“Suzie perfectly blends her extensive education and expertise in multiple areas to give you a one-of-a-kind course. You will walk away with a wealth of excellent material that can be applied to all areas of your life.”
“YogaMedCo has forever changed my personal practice. I'm a better Friend, Daughter, Sister, Wife and Mother by implementing the Traffic Light method and honoring myself first.”
“This training reminded me that yoga is not about pushing toward an ideal, but about listening more closely to what is true in the moment.”
“By the end of this course I had a brand new website, joined a group that pitches me to corporate decision-makers, updated my LinkedIn, and started a new book. It completely unified and uplifted my brand.”
“This course brought me closer to the coach I want to be. Instead of staying away from my calling due to fear and doubt, I feel more confident to chase my coaching dream and build my own business.”
“I moved from 'lactation consultant' to 'integrated postpartum systems strategist.' That subtle shift changes everything — messaging becomes clearer, authority feels earned, not forced.”
“Yoga For One teaches the yoga teacher how to launch a successful business — from finding your niche to setting your fee structure. Thorough, succinct, and very impressive.”
“A dear friend gifted this book when I needed it most. For anyone dealing with burnout or struggling to improve their health, I highly recommend it — it can help you reclaim the joy in life.”
“Dr. Suzie Carmack is a genius in creating a bite-size system we can incorporate throughout our day. Something as simple as breathing, standing, or moving will result in re-setting our mind and body.”
“Dr. Carmack has created a much-needed YogaMedCo method for modern healthcare. The most valuable aspect was the immediate applicability of bringing adaptive yoga into clinical settings. My boss is thrilled with my ability to simultaneously offer three levels of modifications to suit all levels of capability. Attendees arrive at my hospital and clinic classes with various chronic conditions, diseases, and disabilities — and they all benefit at the same time, whether in a wheelchair, wanting a sweaty workout, or anywhere in between.”
“I love the way YogaMedCo approaches teaching. They care about each one of their students, and they exemplify yoga on and off the mat.”
“Words fail to fully encompass the multilevel benefits that YogaMedCo training can bring to your life — both personally and professionally. Trainees learn safe, effective, client-centric methods in a positive, engaging environment. I highly recommend YogaMedCo to anyone at any level. Dr. Suzie Carmack and the team are tremendous!”
