Asanas are only 10% of Yoga. I believe one can achieve enlightenment without practicing the asanas but its a great tool. I first started meditating and then made my way to yoga. today I'm teaching yoga to others. however meditation is in my opinion the best part of yoga. namaste to all of you!!
i agree so much, my main practice was all about the physical but it was only when i started to practice with complete attention that i noticed the minor changes happening. Today my main focus, although practising asana as well, is about the spiritual part of yoga. What made me feel this was when i started practising more Yin yoga and actually feeling and listening to my body's invitations to go deeper, rather than to force it. namaste to all Yoga did actually alter my life and continues to do so, for which i am so grateful
i am new to yoga, 1 month. all i kno is the basic. this is the 1st documentary iv watched and i feel the words theyre expressing. i want everyone to try yoga. i practice daily. shaky and trembling but i do it. i am on a journey of fitness, being plus size. i look foward to opening myself to yoga.

I have been working out (fitness) for 6 years, 5-6 times a week. Now i workout 2-3 times a week. It was hard at first because i tought all my muscles would go away and i will never have the body i want and so on. But it did not serve my any longer so i decided to do less and do yoga. I love yoga, yin yoga. When i do yoga i don't think about anything for a full hour. I love the challenge and i feel so happy and zen after it. I am just beginning but i think i will love the progress inside and outside. Namaste!
Yoga or union with yourself makes you understand how complex your body is and how it should be treated, most of the time we treat it rough and yet it stays with us( fully broken). There would come a time when you'll understand how you ill-treated it and would jump for healing and that's where yoga comes in, not only as a healer but as a deeper connector. It never fails to amuse us and we should never fail to continue it!!
i'm not kidding when i say that this actually gave me goosebumps! i feel exactly the same as many yogis who are in this documentary although i'm still at the beginning and that's the thing: it's not about the movement and flexibility only but about what happens inside
LoL...*))) I had tears in my eyes. I always say Yoga for me is like sex with love. It fulfills me on a physical level like sex and it satisfies me internally like very intimate sex or like loving sex. I can honestly say that Yoga saved my life.
Loved this documentary!♥️ I would loved to have seen more men and plus sized women represented though. As a plus sized woman who never thought she could do yoga, I decided to add it to my exercise routine to help heal myself from panick attacks and to manage the pain derived from changes in my hip joints and spine. Although I'm still at the very basic level, I am blown away at how I'm able to do the poses. I had failed at the 1 or 2 past attempts because I focused more on the discomfort and believed that the practice was only for slim, small bodies. I am totally loving it and loving myself more. I look forward to growing in and completely enjoying this journey😊
Amazing! She is so fluid in her strength. I'm 62 and just starting, struggling to do the most basics. But, I will improve! Thanks for the video, you're amazing!

Hi, there! I saw your comment and thought I'd send you a link to a chair yoga video on my channel: th-cam.com/video/b10PcExvMeA/w-d-xo.html I hope you enjoy it!
I have been diagnosed with ADHD,CPTSD,bipolar 1,epilepsy(3 types of seizures),and a dissociative disorder.Last year I completely changed how I eat(no sugar or processed foods),lots of veggies,seeds and nuts,some fruit,whole grains,and eggs.I started to so yoga,breathwork,and meditation every morning and have gotten off of 7 medications!More importantly though I have stopped being my own worst enemy and am fully present in my life for the first time.
Very beautiful, but...I would love to see people interviewed who are less flexible and do more 'basic' poses to show that the 'deepness' of yoga does not have to do with flexibility or strength (or outer beauty for that matter). It can be accessed by all bodies.
Erika Golde There was one girl, who was not very flexible and she really did some basic poses - she admitted herself, that she always hated stretching - the one that was doing yoga for 18 months or so. Out of all the poses she did in this video, only one is a bit more on difficult side...
ME TOO! This is a gorgeous documentary and very inspiring and I can connect to each person profiled. That said, where are the 40-, 50-, 60-something yogis? I'll never be as advanced as those seen here, so it would be less intimidating to see a couple of practitioners more like what I CAN aspire to achieve. Yes, I know yoga isn't competitive, per say, but I am human... That said, I'm so glad I viewed this!
Yoga is foremost about exercising and expanding the mind, not the body. The body follows the mind. Unless the mind is first stilled, the body cannot be. That's the lesson of spending even lifetimes perfecting yamas and niyamas - not simply becoming an external āsana practitioner, which is the product of the modern age of consumerism. Also, the idea that "āsana prepares the mind for meditation" is naive at best and foolish at worst. It falls into the category of modern yoga studios: "if we can at least get them to move and do asana, MAYBE then they will go deeper." Reality check: they don't. The Cult of the āsana is the biggest scam in the history of yoga.
My background is in dance, exercise science, and fitness. Now a yoga teacher for over 10 years, I get the yoga connection. It is so unique and different for everyone.
We let our egos get in the way instead of taking the intended message: Yoga is something that can teach us all something; something that we can teach to others. We are all students; we are all teachers. Let's stay humble.
I started practicing Yoga about two weeks ago and I haven't really felt that much bliss and consciousness afterwards until I watched this documentary. Watching these yogis move so fluid with motion and so beautiful makes my eyes wide open and makes me feel anything is possible once I go deeper into my practice. Not only their movement amazes me, but their inner peace from their yoga practice seems so everlasting. Thank you for this wonderful documentary. My consciousness is now more alive than ever.
This is so inspiring , I stared Yoga to get a friend off my back in March 2016 and I have come to the mat every day since at least once mostly more. I feel like I found myself and where I am supposed to be right now.
I always come back to this documentary, last time i watched it was like 2 years ago. So beautiful. Aline gives me vibes like, i want to meet her and spend time with her, such a good vibe. Every time i practise yin yoga i cry, it just does something with my mind, not only the body.
This is so inspiring and it really hit home and hard for me emotionally..I couldn't stop but to release the ache in my heart I've held for a while and let go..I have been practicing on and off for the past 4 years or so but I was not ready mentally. I was the type that if I couldn't get it right the first time or master it the first time, I was not going to do it. Now if I knew I could do it, I had to perfect it now, at this moment, today! This hindered my practice because I did not forgive my body and I didn't allow it to give me what I needed for the day. I did not have the patience to take it to the journey. I got really serious about it about a few months ago and this time I enjoy it so more because I'm doing it for me and if I couldn't get deep in my backbend today, I am ok with that because I know I can get deeper tomorrow 😊 yoga is definitely a journey and it aligns us spiritually along side the physical, mental and emotional aspect. Yoga brings me a sense of joy and excitement different from what my husband and children give me..it is me, my true self equally yolked with the divine.😍🙏🏾
This is so powerful. Loved every sequence. I am still a beginner but I can already feel how my commitment to 30days of Yoga transforms everything. It is like coming home after a long walk
tears,,,,,so beautiful thank u wonderful yogis brilliant teachers teaching me to give more bless u tears...more tears namaste!!!faith grace love ............
beautiful people at peek physical condition. I'd love to see stories of beginners through to these experts. if I could get anywhere close to primary series (never mind the asanas being shown) I'd be happy. maybe one day.
I'm disappointed that so many people feel its OK to critique the physique of the yogi in this film. Yes yoga is for 'every-body' but also remember that body positivity is not exclusive to one shape or another.
There is so much beauty in this video, the depths of what is exposed can only help our world oneness to flourish. Much gratitude, love and light your ways! Namaste :)
Very beautiful! I bet 90% of people do more basic asanas in their pijamas, with their dogs getting in the way, etc. But we all are suckers for a bit of esthetics, aren't we? xD
When I was on holiday in Australia, I visited a Yoga Studio in Sydney. They allowed and had residents dogs in the studio. I'm not really a dog person and I was a little apprehensive to be honest at first. But the dogs were friendly, didn't bark and were so so sweet. I went to practises everyday for a week, early in the morning. Sometimes one of the dogs would come and lay down on my mat after I had laid it out and I had to wait for it to get up and move. At other times, I would be in a headstand and it'd come and lick my face (hahaha). Other times, he's just lay down next to me when I was doing a pose or laying down after practise in Savasana. Almost everyone who came to the studio came to enjoy and love the interaction with other people's dogs or the resident dogs. It taught mke that Yoga doesn't need to be solemn and quiet and silent. It doesnt' have to be anything. Everyone's practise is personal. As many people affirm, asana is only one branch of the 8 limbs of yoga (albeit the most common and popular limb) and for me, it serves a means to an end. It means so many different things for so many different people, so it's important to remember to respect other people's views and just relax and enjoy what it has to offer us personally.
I love this.. I feel like it has opened my eyes but I need to listen to it 100 more time as the very words vibrate some place deep inside awake.. I need to come back to this
I do see what a lot of these comments are about. Being a true yogi does not mean you have to do lots of impressive poses and look beautiful. It can be as simple as being connected. Sitting still. Living with integrity and kindness. This video can make it seem as though without mastering lots of asanas you can't attain the highest state of consciousness and that simply is not true
what i have notice is that everybody started it because of some reason and that reason was not that they were already happy but because they all felt lost stressed out and needed healing. the same case with me. i am just a begginer but i feel with yoga i can find something that i would maybe never find if i was happy about my life.
If you are still reading these notifications 4 years on- I just want you to know that you are such an Inspiration to me ❤️❤️ needed your videos and your words at this moment in time. 🙏🏻 love and light.
Such an amazing creature this Laruga Glaser. I love your devotion to yoga. Keep doing it. You inspire many of us to create a beautiful world. Thank you!
V impressive, physical yoga is the beginning, later one should make efforts to concentrate on breath,read spiritual books, keep spiritual company, then learn meditation, in meditation we should try to slow down our thought process, ultimately we should experience dead silence within and experience deep peace, from there door to samadhi is opened, which is the ultimate blessing , how do we know that we attained samadhi ?, when we are able to love and respect everyone unconditionally, when our intrinsic wisdom is awakened, natural attraction for righteousness and many more manifestations - - -
Divine documentary. Yoga is underestimated strongly and your video helped to put yoga in its deserved place. I also feel personally motivated to dissolve all my limitiations and become far greater. Thank you
With all due respect. my Yoga practice has led me into a completely different direction. It has given me a doorway to my Shadow Self. There I found my true nature and a measure of genius and insight which my western upbringing had caused me to disregard, OM.
Love yoga - it's a start and all you need is your body and patience and after that you realize that in that quiet between poses you're working unconsciously on your "better self".And it doesn't matter if you're old or young,fit or not,tall or small and where you come from. Love to you all 💗
I love your remark, relating to people more authentically. I can no longer tolerate pettiness. I've had to leave so called church, I hunger for real connectedness to others as I understand myself more and more.
👏👏👏👏Thank you to each and every Yogi Instructor and coach who presented in this documentary from a place of true authenticity. Trust love compassion towards self and others. The journey begins on the mat
Great to see what I am going to do in 5 years! When I watch 80 year Indian yogis I feel so inspired.....I can do thia with daily practice and greater enlightenment!
Loved this one, actually cried my way through the relatable journeys of all these admirable women. I recently started practicing and it feels like something so transformative and powerful, I can't wait to keep going everyday.
this film was great...and criticizing it on its "slick and sexy" quality is unfair ... these people have achived great hights in their practice...and thats the point of the film
l love what Megan Currie said. You can go anywhere riding your breath, it unlocks depths within yourself, and that secret and personal space creates a spark in the darkness. Yoga is everything.
beautiful :) you made a film that express the feelings on yoga, and this is awesome. Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful insight about yoga.
Огромное спасибо за видео ! Практикуя каждый день маленькими шагами вы идёте к совершенству . Человек создан для совершенства и гормоний в любом возрасте !
Wauw, love the words being used and the energy that comes with it. What they say, it’s not about how flexible you are. It’s your practice! I Will never be this flexible but that’s ok. Namaste
during meditation we loose our sadness and also gain some sadness becuz we get to look ourselves so i guess meditation has the ability to make us better people than we were yesterday.
I would have liked to see testimonies of men, children, elderly people, people with disabilities. To be more inclusive and representative of the population of yoga
Aline Fernandes was doing sport since her childhood, became a model, was searching for meaning of life what led her to yoga. Deepika Mehta was an active climber, had an accident, found heeling through yoga. Hayley Cutler did sports since her childhood, was very active, after University she lost herself in business and found her new path in yoga. Jessica Olie was a swimmer, she wasn't flexible at all (couldn't touch her toes) , during her studies (some difficult times) she got introduced to yoga. Kino MacGregor after she moved to NYC had some ups and downs, was fighting her depression with yoga. Laruga was always very active, interested in spirituality what led her to yoga. They all live yoga, study yoga and practice yoga every day. Not everybody can reach their level, but everybody can try. The younger, the better. It's all about your will to reach the best, for you, possible level. All the best!
unsporty people would benefit greatly from practicing yoga. the fact that mostly sporty people start doing yoga is because they're more open for trying new stuff. there's no need to be sporty. just start doing it.
I'm in recovery and I'm trying to get closer to higher power, I was mad at him/her for long time but I am now open knowing it was really me I was mad at... I do Yoga but just to sweat I need to expand and get closer to myself, God and myself thank u for inspiration

Living with integrity and kindness. This video can make it seem as though without mastering lots of asanas you can't attain the highest state of consciousness and that simply is not true

V impressive, physical yoga is the beginning, later one should make efforts to concentrate on breath,read spiritual books, keep spiritual company, then learn meditation, in meditation we should try to slow down our thought process, ultimately we should experience dead silence within and experience deep peace, from there door to samadhi is opened, which is the ultimate blessing , how do we know that we attained samadhi ?, when we are able to love and respect everyone unconditionally, when our intrinsic wisdom is awakened, natural attraction for righteousness and many more manifestations - - -
Thank you for this documentary. I feel a sense of peace and possibility. It’s one I could watch whenever I feel my anxieties creeping in. Thank you
This a beautifully executed video with some amazing woman with lovely stories to tell. Well done.
Loved it. Yoga is amazing, it's not about perfection but about the love and happinness you feel inside
it's not at all about that.
You all are so correct - this emphasizes grounding and how motivation comes from within - Thanks! ❤
Divine documentary. Yoga is underestimated strongly and your video helped to put yoga in its deserved place. I also feel personally motivated to dissolve all my limitiations and become far greater. Thank you
Lovely documentary thank you. 💓

This couldn't have come at a better time for me. Thank you thank you thank you
I appreciate your attitude towards yoga
Thank you for this beautiful documentary
Awesome..very inspiring. Thank you so much for this documentary..
Beautiful stories and videography. Very inspiring.
With all due respect. my Yoga practice has led me into a completely different direction. It has given me a doorway to my Shadow Self. There I found my true nature and a measure of genius and insight which my western upbringing had caused me to disregard, OM.
Love yoga - it's a start and all you need is your body and patience and after that you realize that in that quiet between poses you're working unconsciously on your "better self".And it doesn't matter if you're old or young,fit or not,tall or small and where you come from.
Love to you all 💗
I love your remark, relating to people more authentically.
I can no longer tolerate pettiness. I've had to leave so called church, I hunger for real connectedness to others as I understand myself more and more.
i love Laruga such wonderful soul
absolutely beautiful documentation and personalities! thanks for sharing this :)
Beautiful documentary! Everyone should watch it! :)
Beautifully done! 🙏🏽❤️
you are beautiful, and the process that takes so much dedication shows through your work....excellent...all love!
WOW I still need a lot of practising
Beautifully crafted sand so inspiring. I just started yoga a few months ago and I love it. Thank you. Namaste 🙏🏼
👏👏👏👏Thank you to each and every Yogi Instructor and coach who presented in this documentary from a place of true authenticity. Trust love compassion towards self and others. The journey begins on the mat
Great to see what I am going to do in 5 years! When I watch 80 year Indian yogis I feel so inspired.....I can do thia with daily practice and greater enlightenment!
Thank you for this beautiful movie, it really touched me. All the best on your journeys and lots of love
Loved this one, actually cried my way through the relatable journeys of all these admirable women. I recently started practicing and it feels like something so transformative and powerful, I can't wait to keep going everyday.
🙏
the people in this documentary are very beautiful and inspiring
this film was great...and criticizing it on its "slick and sexy" quality is unfair ... these people have achived great hights in their practice...and thats the point of the film
Wow.....beautiful and inspiring
l love what Megan Currie said. You can go anywhere riding your breath, it unlocks depths within yourself, and that secret and personal space creates a spark in the darkness. Yoga is everything.
beautiful :) you made a film that express the feelings on yoga, and this is awesome. Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful insight about yoga.
Life altering....grateful and blessed❤️
Wow...You are so inspiring! Thank you!
Огромное спасибо за видео ! Практикуя каждый день маленькими шагами вы идёте к совершенству . Человек создан для совершенства и гормоний в любом возрасте !
This video is absolutely amazing!!! well filmed and very inspirational, congrats guys!!!
beautiful video. all these yogis... awww
Wauw, love the words being used and the energy that comes with it. What they say, it’s not about how flexible you are. It’s your practice! I Will never be this flexible but that’s ok. Namaste
"In meditation we hope to gain something. But in reality we lose something..."
during meditation we loose our sadness and also gain some sadness becuz we get to look ourselves so i guess meditation has the ability to make us better people than we were yesterday.
Lose, let go of, the natural flow of the universe, everything passes,
We loose everything including ourselfs, then we become nobody, then greatest things happens.
I would have liked to see testimonies of men, children, elderly people, people with disabilities. To be more inclusive and representative of the population of yoga
gosh, they're all so awesome!
Aline Fernandes was doing sport since her childhood, became a model, was searching for meaning of life what led her to yoga. Deepika Mehta was an active climber, had an accident, found heeling through yoga. Hayley Cutler did sports since her childhood, was very active, after University she lost herself in business and found her new path in yoga. Jessica Olie was a swimmer, she wasn't flexible at all (couldn't touch her toes) , during her studies (some difficult times) she got introduced to yoga. Kino MacGregor after she moved to NYC had some ups and downs, was fighting her depression with yoga. Laruga was always very active, interested in spirituality what led her to yoga. They all live yoga, study yoga and practice yoga every day. Not everybody can reach their level, but everybody can try. The younger, the better. It's all about your will to reach the best, for you, possible level. All the best!
unsporty people would benefit greatly from practicing yoga. the fact that mostly sporty people start doing yoga is because they're more open for trying new stuff. there's no need to be sporty. just start doing it.
That was very beautiful and extremely well said. As always. Thank you for these inspiring words.
Beautiful and made me want to explore yoga again
Amazing! LoveLoveLove!
I'm in the search of yogic knowledge... I'm completely a beginner... Don't know even ABCD of yoga.. but I'm eager to learn.
THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE, I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN EVER GET TO THIS PLACE, BUT I REALLY WANT TO.
I'm in recovery and I'm trying to get closer to higher power, I was mad at him/her for long time but I am now open knowing it was really me I was mad at... I do Yoga but just to sweat I need to expand and get closer to myself, God and myself thank u for inspiration
I hope you kept it up
beautiful documentary
