A reimagining of masala cinema, NAMASLAY is a pyroclastic, genre-smashing horror satire that eviscerates the appropriation of Yoga in the West—proving culture is the blood that keeps the dead alive.

After arriving in Los Angeles, Gayatri accepts an invitation from her friend Judy to try an upscale yoga studio she's been dying to attend. When the owner, Reyna, offers Gayatri a chance to join her instructor training program, Gayatri decides to look past the obvious eccentricities and accept the job.

As she reconnects with the practice of Yoga she first learned from her grandmother, Gayatri is eventually asked to attend the prestigious instructor's retreat, where she discovers the ulterior nature of her invitation.
