In development. Festivals, workshops, schools welcomed! Synopsis: Finn Beale, a brand-new business owner of a yoga studio, wants to capture the fitness market in the newly-gentrifying neighborhood she’s just bought into, never mind that she knows nothing about the area other than its affordability. As there is no other yoga studio around for miles, Finn sits atop a very small mountain – and she’s not giving up her prime perch.

Finn struggles to find meaning; she thinks that if she succeeds at this venture then she’ll be known as a success and not the person she really is – sad, grieving, lonely, insecure, and depressed.

The Inciting Incident occurs when competition sets up next door. Cameron’s new Zumba class threatens Finn’s sense of security because now her “stuck” patrons have somewhere else to turn…and they will definitely turn as Finn runs her studio like a taskmaster (“Perfection”). Sadly, Finn’s fear turns out to be right, and her students flee her studio like bats out of hell.

What will happen to Finn’s business? Will she find a way to right the ship and get her students back, or will this new Zumba class be the death of her studio and her dream? And, in her attempt to save herself, will she finally learn to…stretch?
