Pokes fun at small-town wellness culture — while quietly falling in love with it.

Variety broke the news in an exclusive. SNL alum Cheri Oteri co-wrote the pilot and stars as a business-savvy partner running the studio from house arrest, opposite Ashley Joyce — who co-wrote the show and plays Lauren, the true believer determined to bring yoga to a town that isn’t so sure about all the stretching. Lisa Beasley and Aaron Latterell round out the ensemble, with Layne Marie Williams directing.

The pilot screens June 20 at 1:45 p.m. at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.
