- Breath of the Gods - A Journey to the Origins of Modern Yoga - Trailer
Featuring B. K. S. Iyengar, Pattabhi Jois and T. Krishnamacharya.
A feature-length documentary by Jan Schmidt-Garre including rare historical footage as well as lavish reenactments. 35 mm, 100 minutes. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
In the video, Pattabhi Jois says that he is the young boy in Kapotasana being stood upon by Krishnamacharya. Pattabhi Jois is actually on the other side of the picture, in shoulder-stand. The same picture also appears in the 1934 book, Yoga Makaranda. In 1934, Jois who was born in 1915 would have been about 19 years old. The boy in the picture is clearly much younger than 19 years old!!!
I watched and liked it very much. Thanks for doing all that research, interviews etc. and putting all of that together as a documentary so beautifully.
Where have you seen it?? i can´t find it.
Thank you! It is good to have something to look forward :-)
Sure, i dont try to decrease the role of Shri Krishnamacharya in development of modern hatha yoga movement. But if movie is called "Origins of vodern hatha yoga" picture is incomplete without other schools. Spreading of Iyengar yoga maybe started from 1966 (first edition of Yoga Dipika). First edition of Complete Illustration Book of Yoga by Swami Vishu-Devananda was published in 1960.
It is now 10 years later, 2022. This movie can be rented or purchased on Vimeo. No longer on Netflix or Amazon Prime. Maybe Apple TV, will check.
I loved this film It was one I watched several times It’s impossible to find now
It's available here: vimeo.com/ondemand/217188
@@PARSMEDIAgreat thanks for the link! Do you know wether it’s possible to have subtitles in other languages? I’d like to show it to my students but most of them don’t speak English….
Saw this on QATAR Airlines 04JAN 6 DOHA/GUARULHOS... really lovely!
Surely Hatha yoga goes back thousands of yrs in India. There appears to be statues in India , several thousands of yrs old, in stone etc of people performing yoga asanas
In 1969 Vishu-Devananda started first international TTC camp in French Canada. Ashtanga Vinyasa was presented in the West since 1975 but became widely popular only in 90-s. I`m talking only about wide popularity whats why we are not going back to Theos Bernard etc. So coming back to 60-s - 70s we can talk about Shri BKS Iyengar popularity, though he created his own approach to asana and pranayama practice, pretty far from Krishnamacharya`s teachings.

Just wondering how authentic the reenactments are... particularly the scene with Krishnamacharya on stage with women. Is this based on fact or fiction?
is there any link to watch the film?
🙏🏻👌
@Parsmedia how may I go about organizing a screening for my local community in Montreal?
What is the name of the piano piece at the end? It's gorgeous.
It's Kaikhosru Sorabji's Pastiche on the Song of the Hindu Merchant from the opera Sadko.
How can I watch this movie?
Beautyful music, by the way : from whom?
It's by Kaikhosru Sorabji, from his Three Pastiches. It's based on the Song of the Hindu Merchant from the opera Sadko.
the source of modern yoga is not only schools founded by Shri Krishnamacharya`s disciples. How its possible to ignore Swami Shivananda`s work and Swami Satyananda Saraswati from Bihar talking about spreading yoga in the West?
Ilya Zhuravlev please offer a suggested reading. Thank you 🙏🏽
Sound?
why not caption

True Yoga is Union with the Supreme Being in the Spiritual (breath) Mind more than placing the Body in an uncomfortable Way.
The Breath of God is how we breathe more than how we move or contort our bodies. Pliancy of Mind is greater than compliancy of Will to the will of the Yogi. True freedom of will comes from not needing to follow any other than the Supreme Being. Reason
tells us that the first sin in the Bible was following someone else other than G=d. Yogis are teachers for followers & not leaders.
Tom Ato ,Interesting, but after studying the Bible, the Sutras, the Vedas, A Course in Miracles, Urantia, Taoism, Buddhism, Tibetan books, along with others, I'm still having a hard time with the concept of God. It doesn't appear to exist. It's a nice story, but one that we systematically reject when a more closer expression arrives from some smarty. From polytheism to monotheism. When we evolve, our concept of God evolves. As far as I can see, Consciousness is a result of and bi-product of the awareness of humans. It's comfortable to believe that there exists a conscious effort for all material matter to be erected. But I can't get around the fact that there's no evidence for a God Principal. Taoism seems to express it best. Buddhism comes close. I do however have to pause with Vedanta teachings. As far as teachings that come out of the Middle East, Vedanta seems to express it similarly to Taoism, broadly speaking. I believe in qi-gong, pranayama, and meditation. These practices allow me to have real experiences. Even prayer seems to work, but there is no evidence that it wasn't "mind over matter"(energetic materialism) or even a ubiquitous energy pool that we have a capability to tap into. And that the term God is a label for that which we couldn't correctly express- connected with passe, outdated modes of thought. So, I would say True Yoga is Union with the Supreme Spiritual Breath-Mind. I'm still searching. I go to Hare Krishna temple and chant, sing, study, but I am a hard nut to crack. I am not trying to be disrespectful, or challenge anyone's belief system. Although, I don't believe in belief anymore, or faith. Maybe I never did. I do know that asana practice can lighten ones body and allow energy to flow more freely, therefore, twisting the body in an uncomfortable (not meant to be uncomfortable) position can indeed induce higher states of consciousness and, thus, bring one closer to the Spiritual energetic and causal bodies. The asana practice does indeed deliver pliancy of the mind. There is no reason that tells us the first sin in the Bible is following a teacher not God, but words that tell us that, and maybe a gut feeling. Reason is a totally different thing- forgive my presumption, but I don't see reason as a factor. Enlighten me if you will...
It's o.k. to be a follower, not everyone can be a leader, per say. I would through this out though, and don't take this wrong, faith is for followers, literally following what is written or preached without using ones own mind to look deeply into the professed faith. Forgive me for being contemptuous. True freedom of will is accepting the notion that it's alright to question the concept of a Supreme Being. The choice to follow the Supreme Being is also true freedom if it was a freedom of choice from a mature adult, but not an indoctrinated child that has been fed faith and belief. That is reason.
@@LaoZi2023 This is because the 'I' still exists in you. Your identified to body mind and intellect - God is beyond words and cannot be described, he is within you and pervades everything in the universe/ he is the universe. I suggest exploring Advaita Vedanta :)
I see you made the comment 4 years ago, you might know the truth now ? !
@@ResearchTemple Aledgedly the Buddha said don't believe anything, anyone tells you not even me . Cultivate your own mind, question, look and investigate for yourself only when you see the truth then its OK. Seeing is believing
yes the direct experience is in line with the scriptures. the truth is beyond words anyway hehe @@fredatlas4396
