My initial inclination was to leave the theatre as soon as the movie ended. However, I gave it a chance. I am a student of Ayurveda and was inspired to learn more by this movie. I wish more people would watch it and learn about this wonderful style of medicine. I was also inspired to learn more about Ayurveda and have more freedom to practice it and choose to practice it. This movie is something that can inspire anyone to want to learn more about Ayurveda. This movie is good for all ages. It is enlightening and well worth watching. I would give this movie a 10 out of 10!

This is a very well done documentary. I loved the audio in the beginning with the interviewer explaining the different parts of the story and how they fit together. I think it is very important to have this, not only to understand the story, but also to understand why things happened the way they did. I think this is a very important part of the story and is something that needs to be explained. I felt like a little kid again while listening to this, again learning something new. In the interview with Dr. Sharma, he said that he wanted to tell the story to the world, but only one man understood the story, Dr. Sharma. I think this is a good point for this story to be told. Dr. Sharma was an extremely gifted doctor, and an inspiring person. He helped many people, and he was extremely charitable. The other aspect of this story is his legacy. I felt that he was an amazing man, and the person who touched many lives. He loved giving of himself, but he also took care of the people he touched. I feel that Dr. Sharma is something to be proud of, and should be honored and remembered. I think this is an important story, and one that should be told.

Iyengar shows the life of a man who lived as a student. I had the pleasure of seeing this film and it was really amazing. The film takes a different approach to the previous films and it is very interesting to watch. It took me some time to understand some things but once I did it was amazing. It is very interesting to see a documentary of a yoga teacher. I have to give this film a lot of credit for it was produced by a woman. The director makes us feel like she is living it. We get to know some of the students and we get to see a part of their lives. This film is definitely not for everyone. It is different from other documentaries and it is not like other films where you watch the same things over and over again. This is one that you can watch and you will have a different perspective.

I am a graduate student in Yoga at the University of British Columbia and have always been fascinated by the story of a young man named Gurdjieff, one of the founders of yoga in Russia and who is one of the most prolific teachers in North America. I'm a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to yoga and I can think of no better representation of yoga in the modern world than the story of Gurdjieff. Most people seem to know nothing about the man or his teachings, and the majority of the documentary focuses on his guru, Isha Jalaal, a character that is even more fascinating than Gurdjieff himself. The film is divided into three distinct sections that discuss Gurdjieff's philosophy of life, a little bit of his history, and his interaction with other great teachers. The first part of the film is an introduction of the man, who gives us an overview of his life and experiences. I was surprised to find out that Gurdjieff lived alone and never had a girlfriend. I also found out that he was not very religious, preferring to use his yoga to heal the soul rather than to change things in his life. The second section of the film is about his relationship with his mentor, Isha Jalaal, who taught Gurdjieff that yoga could help people in all types of situations. At first he seems to be completely in love with Isha Jalaal, but eventually he realizes that Isha has some bad things in his past that aren't going to change. After some discussions with Isha, Gurdjieff realizes that he needs to make changes in his life to become more like Isha Jalaal. The third part of the film, which is devoted to the other great teachers in yoga, is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. They're a group of teachers who teach yoga in a way that is based on the scriptures, as opposed to modern yoga classes that use books and props to convey the teachings. They teach yoga in a way that you need to be in yoga practice before you can even begin to understand the content of the class. The lessons in the classes are sometimes very difficult to understand and even painful, but they teach the teachings in a way that is far more practical and makes you realize that yoga is a way to connect with the earth and the planet. This is the part of the film that I found the most interesting. I'd recommend this film to anyone who is interested in learning more about the life of a great teacher. I highly recommend this film because it is a documentary that is very personal and well-made.

This film was shown in the Seattle area in November and I had the opportunity to see it. The subject is interesting and interesting. I have not seen any of the other films about the same subject but I believe that the subject is one of the best. This is a very well-produced documentary that was well-filmed and well-edited. The actors are very good and they have the subject well-covered. I recommend this film.

A documentary that will change your mind about what yoga is. The movie is like a modern day painting. It is very well put together, as it was shot on location in India and with the help of a crew of yoga students. The documentary takes us from the beginning to the end of the journey of a yoga student and her teacher. The students are from the USA, India, UK, Belgium, France, Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden, and Ireland. The movie covers everything from the beginning of yoga to the end of it. The movie is full of beautiful shots of India and is very well done. It shows the culture of India and the amazing culture of yoga. The documentary covers everything from the beginning of yoga to the end. It does a great job of explaining the philosophies of yoga. The way it is put together is very well done and it is a wonderful movie to watch. The documentary is very informative and will make you think about what yoga is all about.

Having been introduced to the cinema by the great George Mann, who has not failed to enlighten and entertain me with his commentaries on films, I was happy to find a new documentary for my collection. That a filmmaker like Steve-Utsch has chosen this documentary as his entry on the blog is to my taste the most satisfying way to introduce a film to a new audience. I have long admired Utsch's filmmaking and after a long hiatus from his films I decided to re-visit his documentaries. This was the first. And I would not regret that decision. He knows the ins and outs of Indian cinema, but he also knows that the English-speaking audience is not so interested in Indian films. The documentary is a little confusing at first, and I would not even bother re-visiting some of the older material. But, once I got used to the idea that I am watching a documentary on a film that I have seen before, I enjoyed this film tremendously. In the process, I learned that the "Bollywood-ization" of the Indian cinema is far from over. I still have many questions that I wish to ask and I would love to have the opportunity to do so in the future. This documentary should be in the history of the cinema. No matter what the rating, it should be seen. A MUST SEE!

The thing that keeps you watching is the experience of this documentary. The person behind it, gives this many points of view, even through different voices. It's really interesting to see the true story behind this documentary. The user-comments are in harmony with this doc. And they really want to see something. That's how you can tell a good doc from a bad one. So, there's not a great doc, but definitely a good one. In my opinion, this doc is really important. Thank you, sir.

Bengali films, sometimes use music to build the plot, but this movie had such a great script that they had to also show the story from an other angle, like a documentary. While it would be easy to think of this as a spiritual story, the real story is about the lives of students and their teachers. The teacher is the one who has to leave, the students are left behind in the college, or when they graduate. As they are not married, the teachers and students are not allowed to stay together. When a student's teacher falls sick, he leaves his wife and son to take the children to a monastery. After the teacher dies, the students stay and grow as their teacher did. While the school-life in India has been almost a negative stereotype, they make it very interesting to watch. I love the way this movie is narrated and I would say it is the best. It should be mandatory for every person who is interested in spiritualism, Yoga or the Indian experience.

This documentary was well worth my time and money. I am a big fan of this filmmaker and am glad to have this in my collection. The filmmaker was able to show us the real life of this man who had to be put in a wheelchair to practice yoga, and this is something that I have never seen before. This man is a legend in the yoga community. He was able to show us how he practices yoga, and the daily routine that he has to live. I found this documentary very inspiring. I hope that more documentaries about yoga will be made. I would recommend this film to anyone who has a passion for yoga and the life of the practitioner. I would also like to thank the filmmaker for sharing his journey with us.

This is a very interesting documentary. It is about a man, who is obsessed with yoga and Ayurveda. He is so passionate about Ayurveda, that he can't even be bothered to speak about the subject, but instead uses his own imagination to describe the practice. He uses the film footage to give an explanation of the origins of yoga. He also talks about how the art of yoga came about, and how the art of Ayurveda was passed down from generation to generation. This film is not a full biography of Shankaracharya, but rather an introduction to the man. It is very interesting, and you will want to watch it over and over again. The style of the film is very unique, and you really get to understand the man. I would say this is Shankaracharya's most popular film, and I highly recommend it.

So many people have said that this is the best documentary I have ever seen. You would have to be blind to not notice the amazing detail that is given in this film. It is in my opinion the best film I have seen since the Internet took over the world. Watch it, it is absolutely amazing. If you're interested in a documentary on Yoga, watch this. I have to say that the only one I've seen that is equal to this one is "The Art of Yoga" by Lorna Rose. But if you like documentaries, I recommend "The Art of Yoga".

A fascinating and well-told story about a yoga teacher who has devoted his life to spreading the teachings of the ancient Indian yogis. The movie is worth watching if you want to learn more about yoga and appreciate it for what it is: a religion. If you're looking for a documentary, watch "Yoga Hosers."

A real gem of a documentary. This is an excellent representation of some of the most important yoga and ancient practices and philosophies of the world, the way these things should be done and the proper way of doing them, with a lot of encouragement, love, and respect. It's a story about transformation, of realization, of sharing and joining and connection. I found it a very gentle and heartwarming and beautiful documentary, a story that may seem very self-centered and distant to some. But the story is about more than just the lives of a few people, and the people are the real heroes here. The documentary is a real eye-opener and a great example of how to approach the worlds of these disciplines, and how to approach them with a lot of respect, a lot of love and humility. I recommend it highly.

I am a Yoga practitioner and I would like to say this: if you are a yoga practitioner, you should watch this documentary. I feel that this film will give you an insight into the modern day yogis. I will not give any spoilers, but I will say that this film will give you an insight into modern day yogis and will show you that you can be a yogi without having to practice a particular form of yoga. I was a practicing yogi myself and I have seen many different yogis and they all have different bodies and different styles of yoga. This film will show you that yoga is not exclusive to the East. It is a universal movement. This film is great and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about yoga and who is interested in a documentary on the subject. The film is edited well, and I feel that it will be a great film to share with the yoga community.

I really enjoyed this movie. I liked the way the filmmakers told the story of the yogi and his student, and the different spiritual experiences he had. The movie is mostly in Japanese with subtitles, so you will need to have a good understanding of the language. It is a little slow, but the movie is well worth it. It also has an interesting side-story about the recent demise of the man who created the movie. I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to learn about yoga. It is a good way to learn about the spiritual journey of a yogi.

I love documentaries about the life of yogis, but this one takes it to a different level. I was moved by the story of this guy and his family. It is a remarkable film that shows the power of yoga, its place in society, and the lessons it can teach. It shows that life isn't always about material things, but rather about what we do with our life and how we move through it. I am so glad that more people are getting to see this movie, because I think it is one of the most important documentaries that is being made. This is a film that can change the way we see the world.

I am very impressed by the documentaries on Indian Yoga, and am really looking forward to seeing more of the same. I also appreciate that they are able to find people who are willing to share their stories. One of the things I love about this film is that it gives you a good idea of what yoga is really like. It doesn't portray the people who practice yoga as a bunch of weirdos. I found the documentary to be a great overview of yoga and the culture surrounding it. I also enjoyed the way the documentary was put together. The narration of the film is not a narration of the teacher's voice over. Instead, it is a series of interviews with people who have participated in the yoga traditions. There is also a lot of material on the history of yoga. It is clear that this film was made with the intention of educating the public. I'm sure that it will do that. The most important thing about this film is that it is not propaganda. It shows people who practice yoga and gives them a good understanding of what they are doing. I'm not a fan of the American-style documentaries that are sometimes put out by Hollywood, but this is one of the best I've seen.

A beautifully done film that offers an interesting look at the modern yoga movement and a glimpse into the lives of the people who practice it. The film covers the history of the movement, including its creation, the struggle with the yoga teacher's association, and the evolution of the movement as it has evolved from a simple form of meditation to an effective form of exercise. The film also covers the movement's current state and the people who practice it. The film is very well made and is a good introduction to the movement.

The movie is a one-hour documentary that documents the life and work of Yogananda, an Indian philosopher who was one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century. Yogananda is well known for his anti-materialism, which was very popular in India during the 1970s. However, his ideas are not limited to that era. He was very critical of western society, which he saw as an obstacle to his development. The documentary was shot over the course of seven years, starting in 1975, and covering a wide range of topics, including the education of Yogananda's children, his relationship with his wife, his student Bharati, his work on the Bodhidharma Monastery, and his life and work. The documentary also covers Yogananda's many health problems, which were his most serious, including Parkinson's disease, diabetes, and HIV. The movie is worth seeing because of the analysis it provides of Yogananda's work and life, and the insights it gives into his philosophy and his life. The documentary is very well done and the editing is very effective. There is no over-use of interviews or speeches, and the interviews are very well done. It's a very good documentary.
