The Namaste Club

Just inland from Florida’s sun-splashed Treasure Coast is the Namaste Club yoga center. An exclusive oasis of palms, lakes, and adorable guest villas, it’s perfect for getaways where Shakti, a serenely blond Instagram influencer, holds yoga retreats for well-heeled Miami ladies. The Namaste Club is a place of reflection, a place of release and redemption…or at least, that’s the sales pitch.

This weekend is Transcendence Week, and a new bunch of South Florida burnouts have arrived. There’s Indira, fabulously wealthy after her divorce from the fast-frozen fruit king of Florida. There’s Indira’s best friend Jessica, also divorced and trying to get her groove back. There’s Barbara, heir to a massive family fortune, who’s vow of silence for the retreat will be sorely tested. There’s Carol Anne from Vero Beach, a happy trad-wife and proud gun owner who recently did something... inadvisable; she’s just here while things cool off in her hometown. There’s Daniel, the toned, man-bunned apprentice yoga instructor. He’s cute if you like that sort of thing—and many of the rich ladies do.

Last but not least, there’s Bubba, the retreat center’s resident twelve-foot American alligator. Before Transcendence Week is over, Bubba will have his moment of glory as well.

Who will be living their best life? Who will get their comeuppance?
