Gold Coast, Queensland -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/13/2012 -- Actress Celeste Thorson (How I Met Your Mother, Jimmy Kimmel Live) premiered new indie sitcom “YOGAPHILES” as writer and director, August 2012.
Season one gets up close and personal with a quirky class of L.A. students that take life, love and yoga a little too seriously. Writer, producer and director, Celeste Thorson created YOGAPHILES to promote yoga and a diverse ensemble cast. YOGAPHILES explores pop culture, health, fitness, LGBT, ethnicity, sex and love.
“I feel like most people who do yoga have a great sense of humor and appreciation for life.” said director Celeste Thorson. “I’m so inspired by the physicality of yoga, its fun to showcase it in a sitcom through the eyes of these eccentric characters.”
YOGAPHILES follows five students that flock to a studio in Los Angeles for a weekly beginner yoga class. Their opinions and personalities clash, especially when new teachers and guest stars are thrown into the mix.
