We all love a story, especially when we can relate to it in heart-moving ways.
On The Great Quest we go on a journey discovering our purpose in life as we travel with stories from Traya's Quest.
Traya, an 11 year old boy in Africa,
has the special ability to talk to the plants, animals and all of nature..
He can talk to people as well, but only he can hear the voices of the
trees, the flowers, bees and the lions,
and they in turn can hear and understand him.
The adventures of Traya, and the journey of the Great Quest, weave in and out of this 5-week course using text and images from the beautiful book Traya's Quest by Paulette Agnew.
The power of story can run deep into our consciousness. In this story, we'll learn about some of the Universe's spiritual knowledge, lessons from nature, and discover what it is to live in accordance with your dharma, your life's purpose.

Hear what these mums have to say...
We found Suzanna’s Yoga course inspiring and bountiful. It is created with such love and contemplation with jewels of wisdom strewn throughout.
My 9yo daughter found the breathing techniques and yoga classes particularly moving and is still using the techniques weeks after finishing.
It is also wonderful to know we can return to the material to ‘refresh’ on particular things we loved or revisit a class.
Suzanna is a beautiful guide who shines peace and calm throughout her interactions. We highly recommend the Great Quest to anyone seeking truth, meaning and peace in their lives.
Felicity (and Olivia)
The content and delivery of this course was truly world class.
Minette
The Great Quest Yoga journey is a wonderful bonding experience with oneself and with family.
It's a unique journey to experience where we learn about ourselves, our children and Yoga through the journey of Traya
and with Suzanna as a wonderful guide.
Neha
Our family has been really blessed to have meet Suzanna. The Great Quest yoga journey allowed us to connect as a family and learn to listen to our bodies and nature. Namaste
Kate
My daughter and I shared a special connection, and it opened up discussions about our higher purpose that were amazing.
Exploring the different layers of our being was fun, thoughtful, calming, and beautifully connecting and we loved the connection to nature throughout.
Fi
A truly wonderful way to connect with other like-minded conscious parents and their children. This is a well-planned and effective method of exploring your whole-being and to help discover your own creative potential in a mindful way.
This course is very suitable for home-schooling families with engaging, interactive and science-based activities that support the videos. The content and story line saturates your imagination, is captivating and awakening.
Fiona
The Great Quest was a wonderful experience. My daughter and I got a lovely chance to connect with each other while exploring some deep philosophy in a child-appropriate way, integrate nature and move in a mindful way.
The evening zoom classes were a beautiful way to unwind at the end of day, and the ability to practice at home was easy to fit into the week. We loved the Great Quest!

Why I feel passionate about this work!
I’m a mother of 2 boys. From the time my first son was born I had the ideal of being the best mother, creating an environment filled with love and positive experiences, giving my boys the best start in life.
After my second son was born, I found myself parenting as a single mother. The rosy, happy family I had dreamed of became uprooted to say the least.
My broken world was soon stitched together with a yoga teacher training course with Dru, from which I experienced transformation and a newfound purpose.
As a teacher with a Bachelor of Education, and then as a certified Dru yoga teacher, I asked the question —
Could these yoga practices work for kids in bringing about transformation?
Combining my experience, skills and knowledge, I laid the foundations for The Yoga Garden, creating programs for children and young people - to grow with an awareness of their inner world and how to thrive in their outer world. Nearly 20 years later, I’ve seen many kids come to places of true delight and authentic empowerment.
On reflection of my life journey, and how the practices of yoga, breath work and meditation helped me come back home to myself, I've often thought... how good it would have been if I had these skills when I was a kid?
The feelings of not being good enough and the grooves of self-doubt would have been replaced with that of inner strength and confidence. I could have saved myself so much pain and struggle. If only I knew back then, what I know now!
So how do we motivate kids to be proactive with activities that create positive grooves in their life programming and how do we help them establish their daily practices in fun and practical ways.
It’s been heart-warming and rewarding creating techniques that help kids grow, embracing challenges with resilience and confidence, strengthening rather than depleting their unique character/personality....and becoming like trees growing deep roots, coping with any kind of weather.
My dream is to help raise luminous, loving & well-connected kids... and to raise consciousness on this beautiful planet we call earth.
I hope to see you on the journey.
Suzanna
