Susan Slattery works as a freelance writer, photographer and yoga teacher and she lives in western Massachusetts. She regularly writes features and produces photographs for the daily Berkshire Eagle. In the last few months, Susan has been busy producing several hundred black and white photographs for a teacher training manual being produced at Frog Lotus Yoga, the studio where she also teaches hatha and vinyasa flow style classes. She completed an advanced vinyasa teacher training with Shiva Rea and has studied gravity surfing and backbends with Ana Forrest. Prior to this, Susan worked for news organizations, in public relations, and as a staff writer for the Lycos Network. In her spare time, she enjoys training and showing her black pugs in AKC agility trials. You can see more of Susan's photos on her Web site. Her favorite pose is pincha mayurasana—because it's one of those poses that makes you feel like dreams do come true.
