The Film
Made over two years, Yoga and Me is an independent documentary film featuring inspirational stories of renowned yoga teachers. The film is presented in a heart warming manner with a zest for humor which exemplifies the transformative essence and beauty of yoga. The DVD is essentially conversational by nature and ideal for people whom have not experienced yoga or for those who are simply curious about other people's lives. Yogis who want to delve deeper in to their practice will relate to and find an intimate connection to the themes and underlying message of the production.
Divided into chapters, the DVD runs seamlessly from start to finish. Alternatively, topics can be selected which are divided into chapters, which include Yoga and Relationships, Yoga and Pain, Yoga and Sex, and Yoga and Emotions to name a few. The DVD includes extended interviews with teachers Sarah Powers, Duncan Peak and Simon Low with a unique yoga bandha demonstration by internationally respected teacher Simon Borg-Olivier.
