SYNOPSIS

Jo, mommy blogger and single mother of a precocious 5 year-old, is always one more like/follower away from happiness. She gets the break she's "always deserved" when Vanity Magazine assigns her to publicly blog about her personal growth from a physically impossible nine-week yoga teacher training retreat. Out of shape, fearlessly ambitious, and in no need of "growth," she lies to her baby-daddy, her boss, and dysfunctional family to turn the assignment into a feature cover article exposing the dark side of the retreat's charismatic leader. Deep undercover, she surrenders to the narcissistic guru’s unconventional, humiliating, and surprisingly effective directives until she becomes so competent in yoga that she sets a different shiny new goal - to be a world famous competitive yogi! While on stage at the live-broadcasted National Yoga Championships, Jo seizes the irony of the moment to realize that it's fearless authenticity that will actually bring her and her family happiness.
