At a yoga teacher training in Florida, a traumatized guru wishes for his death while his students flee the premises. Why? In this novel about self-discovery and the human longing to appear better than one actually is, we follow sixteen yoga teacher trainees and their guru, Yogi Krishna Soham, for five weeks prior to the event. Through the eyes of an Icelandic investor, 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 revulsion, discovery, empathy and sadness pull us ever deeper into the struggle between inborn human tendencies and the yearning to rise above them.
