Author's Summary:
He needed an actual hobby outside of work where he would interact with actual people who did not live with him or talk to him through the internet or his phone.

Like yoga? His stupid mind supplied in an annoyingly accurate imitation of Scott’s voice

Stiles sighed.

Like yoga.

Review:
This is a good case fic with super creepy Kate and Grandpa Argent as, predictably, the big baddies but with lots of interesting twists and reveals along the way.  Stiles, who works as an auditor, is assigned to audit the Argent family business.  It's a stressful job, not least of which because creepy Kate is way too interested in him.  Scott suggests yoga so Stiles joins a class at the studio just down the street from his apartment.  The studio is run by Laura Hale (there was no Hale House fire in this 'verse) and Erica, who have recently signed Derek up for the couples yoga class (in a bit of sibling 'take-that') after their mother ordered Derek to be more supportive of his sister by taking something at the studio.  They convince Stiles to be Derek's partner which, of course, leads Stiles and Derek to slowly fall for each other.  It's a good romance and a good case fic.  The supernatural elements don't come in until later, after oblivious Stiles spends several chapters jokingly saying Derek is clearly not human (because of his muscles) and trying to guess which fictional creature he might be.  It's a fun story, not quite finished yet, but there's a lot there already and it still gets updates periodically.
