Absolutely Everything I'm Reading, Writing, and Rehearsing
"Suzanne Morrison's memoir is a glorious mash-up of a book. It's all at once a gimlet-eyed look at the ridiculousness of yoga culture, a somewhat reluctant spiritual journey, and a beautifully observed travelogue. But at its core (to use a very yoga-ish word), Yoga Bitch is a love story. Like Austen's heroines, Suzanne Morrison has to figure out who she loves in order to know who she is. The result is an unabashedly romantic book, in the very best way--like watching your funniest, most sardonic friend realize that she's head-over-heels in love." --Claire Dederer, Author of Poser: My Life in Twenty-Three Yoga Poses
“I love this book. In an era of so much truth telling and blogging and reality shows we forget how well true stories can be told, when they’re in the right hands. Yoga Bitch has sucked me in and made me laugh and made me think about my own spiritual fucked-up state. You had me at "Do they make you eat your own poop." – Lauren Weedman, Author of A Woman Trapped in a Woman’s Body and former Daily Show correspondent
“A smart, funny, and keenly observed travelogue of a modern yogini’s quest for awakening. Yoga Bitch flows like a quirky vinyasa, with each pose just twisted enough to be hilarious.”
--Anne Cushman, author of Enlightenment for Idiots: A Novel
"Suzanne Morrison has been through the yoga wars, she has the literal scars to prove it, and she's produced a hilarious and thoughtful memoir."--Neal Pollack, author of Stretch: the Unlikely Making of a Yoga Dude.
“Brings the higher path down to Earth with refreshing honesty.” – Kirkus Reviews
“Thoughtful, honest, and hilarious.”—Publishers Weekly
