Claudia Black will soon be placed in an odd position on 90210. Actually, a few odd positions.

The actress, who most recently guest-starred on an episode of NCIS, will recur on this CW drama in early 2011. She'll portray Sona, a yoga instructor that the West Beverly girls meet on a retreat.

According to TV Guide Magazine, which first reported the casting,  Naomi "will begin to rely on Sona for far more than how to master the downward facing dog position."

I'll assume this means Black's character will serve as some kind of mother figure for Naomi - because if this is a reference to yet another lesbian storyline, I may have to write the show a strongly-worded letter!
