"Alternately side-splitting and stomach-curdling, writer/actress Suzanne Morrison's autobiographical monologue is savagely funny. . . . Through sheer force of talent and personality, she is able to shock and horrify patrons without sacrificing their implicit faith in the complete and total logic of each decision that she makes. Ambitious, ballsy, and hilarious, Yoga Bitch is surely the best one-woman show I've seen all year."

--Virginia Zech, Seattle Weekly

"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

About Me

Suzanne Morrison: I’m a writer and performer living in currently-gorgeous Seattle. My first memoir, Yoga Bitch, was published by Random House/Three Rivers in August of 2011 and internationally in 2012. Yoga Bitch began as a one-woman show that has been performed in New York, London, across the country and around the world. Working for several years on a show and a book about the underbelly of yoga has resulted in a peculiar obsession with nasal ambrosia, urine therapy, and terms such as "anal lock," making me a compelling addition to any dinner party. In between chapters and productions of book and play, I’m writing short fiction and at work on a new show, Optimism, about Ted Bundy and the allure of family lore.
