From the author of the acclaimed debut novel, "The Blue Bowl" a new novel—a love story as moving as it is sensual—set in the downtown New York yoga world at the turn of the millennium. Billy, a once trendy artist who's lost his bearings, finds his life reinvigorated by his new yoga practice—and his barefooted yogi teacher. They fall in (ananda / blissful) love and she becomes his muse. But when real life forces its way into their transformative dream zone, everything Billy thinks he knows about himself, and everything he has learned, is called into question.
