In this novel about yoga, self-discovery, wisdom, and human frailty, we follow sixteen yoga teacher trainees over a five week period. We experience the day to day activities at the ashram, where strict rules, close living quarters and friction between authentic yoga and it's Westernized counterpart create circumstances of turmoil and discord as well as moments of enlightenment. As we follow the interplay between the students, staff, and colorful characters who frequent the ashram, instants of discovery, empathy, and sadness pull us ever deeper into the struggle between inborn human tendencies and the yearning to rise above them.
