Filmmaker Kate Churchill is determined to prove that yoga can transform anyone. Nick Rosen is skeptical but agrees to be her guinea pig. Kate immerses Nick in yoga, and follows him around the world as he examines the good, the bad and the ugly of yoga. The two encounter celebrity yogis, true believers, kooks and world-renowned gurus. Tensions run high as Nick’s transformational progress lags and Kate’s plan crumbles. What unfolds and what they discover is not what they expected.

I guess everything I know about Yoga comes from (academically) studying Hinduism, plus watching movies like Enlighten Up or whatever. Every time I hear people talk about it it's usually in the same breath as meditation, or else they're talking about opening up their Chakras or whatever.
I've never actually done Yoga but I generally have really wonky interests, so that's generally my bias.
