the movie 'Yoga Planet', Canada (2011)

I watched the 'Yoga Planet' movie yesterday at Goethe Institute, Washington DC.
The movie was screened to public within the FilmFest DC' 2012 - international independent film festival. Being a volunteer for the DC FilmFest this year, I am absolutely grateful for the opportunity to meet the Director, Carlos Ferrand after watching the movie. He shared with attentive audience about his trips to India, teachers and gurus he met there. He said that it took him four (4) years to shoot the film and seven (7) months on production, and that he had never been involved seriously in yoga before, and now has been practicing yoga for the last two years.

There are much to say about the documentary... but the key point for me was real!zation. Realization of the fact that the film is a powerful and inspiring tool for me and my heart, telling me that I AM on the proper path in my life: healing myself and outreaching yoga to others.

Also, I included Rishikesh, India into my travel wish-list. I learnt that you can drink splendid ayurvedic tea there (;-), besides that it's a very 'new age' spot and the world yoga capital of today...

Enjoy few clips from the movie below (and practice your French too ;-):
