      Dissatisfied with her job as a pharmaceutical rep and struggling with the decline of her long-term relationship, Grace, a well-heeled Londoner, uses yoga class to unwind, reflect, and momentarily transcend her earthly dilemmas. While pitching her company’s latest antidepressant to the disarming Dr. James, she is inspired by his plan to study Eastern medicine in Vietnam and decides to quit her job to become a yoga teacher.After studying at the eccentric White Lotus Foundation in California, Grace returns to London, ready for her new life.  But nothing could have prepared her for the motley crew of students she amasses--from the octogenarian industrialist desperate for distraction, the supermodel who indulges yogic aspirations when she tires of kabbalah, to the American film star who uses yoga classes to conceal a scandalous affair. Overwhelmed, Grace soon finds herself relying on her bi-continental correspondence with Dr. James for solace and inspiration, his words hovering above her London life like a sweet promise.With an eye for the absurdity in every encounter, Alexandra Gray gently skewers our society’s preference for a quick-fix nirvana in this chronicle of one woman’s quest for love and meaning in a world numbed by materialism and psychotropic drugs.

      The Yoga Teacher
    • Sometimes by looking for one, you find yourself. & lt;br/ & gt;In this entertaining and touching novel about a woman's quest to discover what will make her truly happy, we meet ten extraordinarily different men; among them, The Virgin, whose manners and charm disguise a disastrous lack of experience; The Lord, whose elegance masks his independence; and The Billionaire, who is generous and powerful but ultimately heartless. & lt;br/ & gt;When The Actor has been dumped, and The Husband left behind, our heroine must decide if any of these men have made her feel complete. On her journey to fulfilment she realizes that the first person she must learn to love is herself.
