Celebrity Love Island winner and former Page 3 girl Jayne Middlemiss has been practising Yoga for over a decade.
She knows its a big part of the Hindu religion, but beyond that its a bit of a mystery to her.
In The Beginners Guide to Yoga, she embarks on a personal journey of discovery that takes her along the Ganges, the holiest river in India, from Calcutta all the way to its source in the Himalayas, where she hopes to find the spiritual enlightenment that has so far escaped her.

An engaging narrative that runs along three parallel tracks, telescoping into each other to span incidents happening around the same time. The main track is the one that centers on a filmmaker Angshuman returning to Calcutta after eight years in Italy with the purpose of making his first feature film. The second track probes into the film-within-the-film, that includes the uphill climb the filmmaker goes through to get his principal cast together, then set them through the paces of their work, and so on.

The third track, deals with the police investigation of the mysterious death of a successful businessman. Here the detection of crime plays an important role in bringing out the psychological interactions in a celebrity s life, which are strikingly different from those of the common man.

Then Hazari gets an opportunity to take up driving a rickshaw manually through a local godfather, Ghatak. He gets to meet a American, Dr. Max Lowe, and together they strike up a friendship along with a local social worker, Joan Bethel. Misunderstandings crop up between Joan and the Godfather, resulting in the shutting down of their shanty medical clinic...
