Synopsis:
Yoga is a competitive, commercialized, mega-industry. Can yoga survive with its good karma intact?
Esak Garcia is a ‘competitive yogi’ whose ultimate goal is the Olympics, a dream instilled in him by his guru, Bikram Choudhury, the ‘Bad Boy of Yoga’. While fighting to have yoga recognized as an Olympic sport, Bikram has also copyrighted his yoga style, demanding teachers play by his rules or stop teaching. A court must now decide if someone can ‘own’ yoga. And with yoga chains (McYoga) proliferating, everything is up for grabs, from yoga shoes to Chakra panties. Is nothing sacred?
