Tom (Brady Smith) and Justine (Ashley Wood ) want to adopt a child but are always not a good fit. Justine takes yoga and gets too close to her instructor who is a psycho. Made for TV. Wooden characters. Lousy sound track.

Is it really a movie about a psycho yoga instructor then? Nothing new in this one and it's a passable two hours for background noise. I thought the story between the husband and wife was well done, and the psycho yoga instructor cheapened it. I think given the issues they were having, it would have been better for the psycho to have been a colleague or an acquaintance that posed a more realistic threat to their relationship. The husband working long hours..maybe a fellow lawyer if they wanted to make him the object of obsession, or same with the wife....maybe someone that's been around the whole time? I didn't get the impression that Tom was actually threatened by Dominic. It wouldn't have the same title, but it'd make more sense. The ending is absolutely ridiculous. No way this guy gets his head bashed on a bathtub (bathroom is the most dangerous room in the home is it not??), bleeds profusely, DROWNS, Justine is gone just long enough to run downstairs and open the front door...he somehow escapes out of a second story window. Ready to terrorize someone else. Stop insulting us, Lifetime.

LMN movies are my guilty pleasure. I love watching for the sheer ridiculousness of the plots and characters. My 14 year old son has even started watching with me just so we can laugh at the craziness of it all! With that being said, this is the most boring LMN movie I've ever seen. Nothing happens for an hour and a half into the movie. Just a lot of talking, stretching and weird bathtub dreams. Snore.

He goes by the name of Dominic Romero. In truth, he is Sebastian Nikos, who was formerly known as Elijah, Jay, and Terrance. A skilled yoga instructor, Dominic is first and foremost a predator, moving around the country and claiming as victims lonely, married women as his stock-in-trade. In "Psycho Yoga Instructor," Dominic instinctively gravitates towards his student Justine Grace, who is especially vulnerable at a time when she and her husband have failed in their attempts to adopt a baby. Justine's husband Tom is a workaholic and pill-popper, who has been distant and callous. At one point, Justine even suspects that he may be having an affair. In a moment of weakness, Justine kisses Dominic. And when she reflects on the moment and rejects him, it brings out his "toxins," resulting in a bout of insane, uncontrolled rage. A strength of the film was in the yoga sessions. Those scenes could have been deadly dull, but the performers were extremely convincing in the exercises. But a shortcoming of the film was in the villain Dominic, whose Jekyll-and-Hyde character portrayal was not convincing, especially when Dominic's dark side emerged. Surprisingly, the most interesting relationship was that of the husband and wife. There was an ebb-and-flow in the interactions of a couple who had been sweethearts from college. Their goal of rededicating themselves to their marriage and adopting a child overshadowed the scenes of the crazed yoga instructor who had intruded on their lives. Dominic's tag line of "I am a sprig" was overused and hollow, just as other platitudes he mouthed, such as "you have to process your feelings" and strive "to achieve your full potential." For this reason, it was disappointing that the film's denouement was given over to the aftermath of Dominic, who managed once again to escape the long arm of the law. The stronger closing moments would have been the joys of starting the family that Tom and Justine had coveted and the miracle of learning that a new baby would be entering their lives.

The action is really delayed, 50 minutes into the movie and the yoga instructor is not yet a psycho, it was a bit overrated
