“There's something about yoga that makes it a spiritual experience, I'm realizing. It's opening me beyond myself. A good class seems like a dose of LSD--without the worry you'll find yourself jumping off a roof into a swimming pool.”

Tolle's work also plays a big role in my novel. Between that and the yoga, you are definitely destined to read it.

Looking forward to chatting with you about books. I especially love how Goodreads connects people across the world!
