Posture

Synopsis

Posture explores the controversial world of competitive yoga. It follows several yogi athletes as they  compete for gold at the 2016 USA Yoga Federation National Championship. It’s not all zen for the many critics who consider competitive yoga offensive to the very nature of this ancient practice.
