Welcome! I’m Susan Quilty, a writer and yoga teacher who has spent a lifetime learning how to be more grounded in reality. That hasn’t been easy. As a writer, my imagination often takes me to fictional worlds. As an over-thinker, my mind often ruminates on the past or obsesses over the future.

My yoga journey continues to teach me how to live in the present moment. Even when my imagination soars, my mind can stay grounded in reality. That balance has helped me write novels, maintain relationships, and manage my life with relative grace.

While I have a blog on my website, I’ve often wanted to create a space where I could focus more on the yoga/writing connection that weaves throughout my life.

About me

As a writer, I primarily write novels. My fiction is grounded in reality with sci-fi, fantasy, or psychological twists. You can learn more about my books here: Books by Susan Quilty. Or look me up by name wherever you buy books.

I also host a short-story podcast called Freely Written. It features 10-minute(ish) stories that I free-write from a prompt with no planning and very little editing. You can find it on your favorite podcast app.

As a yoga teacher, I have taught for 10+ years and have an E-RYT 500 Yoga Alliance registration. I teach multiple yoga styles, including meditation, pranayama (breathing techniques), and yoga philosophy. As a student, I have practiced and studied yoga for over 20 years.
