A yoga teacher finds new life in India-just not the one she was expecting.Nearing thirty, Amanda thought shed be someone else by now. Instead, shes an ex-nanny yogini-wannabe who cranks out For Idiots travel guides. True, she has a sexy photographer boyfriend, but hes usually off shooting a dogsled race in Alaska or a vision quest in Peru-or just hooking up with other girls. However, shes sure her new assignment to the ashrams of India will change everything.What she finds, though, is an ashram run by investment bankers, a model-obsessed guru, tantra parties, and silent retreats. India, it turns out, is not the spiritual refuge shed pictured. But she finds a friend in Devi Das, a redheaded sadhu who refers to himself as we. And when a holy lunatic on the street offers her an enigmatic blessing, Amanda realizes a new life may be in store for her-just not the one she was expecting.
