Yoga Bitch: One Woman's Serious Attempt to Overcome Skepticism, Cynicism, and Cigarettes on the Road to Enlightenment
Suzanne Morrison is a twenty-five-year-old college student who likes to drink coffee, smoke, and eat steak. As she’s about to move to New York, she decides it’s time to get in touch with her spiritual side. So she heads to Bali for a two-month yoga teacher training course. As she packs her suitcase with sacred texts and vegetarian snacks, she visualizes herself in soft, crisp yoga clothes, meditating her way to enlightenment. And of course she’s going to move to New York, only more beautiful, serene, and spiritual than ever. But things don’t quite work out the way she imagined. Once in Bali, Suzanne is confronted with an ant infestation, teachers who believe their kitchen appliances are possessed by spirits, and fellow yogis who, every morning, drink a large mug of their own warm urine... Sharp, hilarious, sympathetic and true - Educational and entertaining for anyone who does yoga and entertaining for people who don't care for yoga Just like Eating, praying and loving, this is also a story about love - Author comes to the Netherlands in mid-September - She will perform at the Servire Festival aan Zee, September 11 in Bergen aan Zee - And of course she is available for interviews A winning memoir.'- Publishers Weekly This is the humorous story of the ambitious Suzanne Morrison, who is really a bit too cynical to simply enter the world of yoga. But during her stay in Bali, she changes from a young girl with an irrational fear of death into a significantly more mature woman who, although she is not yet completely out of it, has found more peace. She also gains more insight into this chaotic world and... eventually becomes a yoga teacher after all. A sharp, hilarious, sympathetic and true story. SUZANNE ('Su Zen') MORRISON is a writer, actress and certified yoga teacher. 'Yoga Bitch' started as a one-woman show that Morrison performed in New York and London and is still running. 'Ambitious, ballsy and hilarious, Yoga Bitch is surely the best one-woman show I've seen all year.'- Seattle Weekly SuzanneMorrison.blogspot.com
