Our Story

Now Power Yoga was founded in 2015 by our beloved Susan Hauser. Susan discovered yoga during one of the most difficult chapters of her life, after losing her husband to cancer while raising two young boys. What began as a search for exercise became something far deeper: yoga gave her presence, clarity, and the strength to move forward. Her mat became her therapist, her safe space and her guide. With a heart full of resilience and love, Susan founded Now Power Yoga to share this transformation with others and to build a community rooted in healing, strength and joy.

In 2016, Marcela walked through the doors of the studio for the first time having been introduced to NOW by a friend. At the time, she was moving through a season of deep struggle and carrying the weight of anxiety and low-level depression. Susan greeted her with open arms, warmth and love - resultantly, Marcela never left. Day after day, her mat became her therapist too. Inspired by Susan’s discipline, devotion and the way she shared yoga with so much heart, Marcela decided to pursue her teaching certification in 2019.

At first, Marcela was shy and unsure of her voice, yet Susan believed in her. She placed Marcela on the schedule right away ultimately giving her the confidence to teach. Through sharing yoga, Marcela found herself again - her strength, voice and a new-found aliveness. She fell deeply in love with the wisdom of yoga and her passion for teaching grew leaps and bounds..

In 2025, Susan moved to Florida with her family to continue spreading her love for yoga by opening a new studio. With great trust and love, she passed the torch of Now Power Yoga to Marcela, knowing she would carry the legacy forward, while adding her own essence and spirit.

Today, Susan and Marcela remain forever connected by their shared journey and devotion to this practice. Together, they continue to spread the love of yoga, the beauty of community and the power of living fully in the present moment - NOW!
