“Y Yoga Movie” 1st Download – Susie Anderson’s Beautiful Words

Thanks, Arthur!

I downloaded this over the weekend and watched it last night. I am sure I’ll watch it many more times, because it is packed full of YOGA! It was great to see some familiar faces…Erich, Dave Stringer, Shiva Rae, Seane Corne…

I love the pure and simple way the street guy (Andre?) talked about his feelings after getting into yoga. (“I got all this off of stretching?”) So many different styles are represented—from prenatal to tough-guy yoga—but it’s still all ONE thing.

I love Dave Stringer’s comment that (to roughly paraphrase) how do explain to someone that you started doing yoga and suddenly everything exploded into LOVE? The blissful look on each yogi’s face says it all… Sweet ending, too. One of my favorites: “Namaste, Folks!”—Erich Schiffmann

review by Sara Avant Stover

On my first trip to India eight years ago, my guidebook said that Rishikesh was the yoga capital of the world. After seeing Y Yoga Movie, I Wonder if LA now has that title.

Arthur Klein, director and narrator, poses the question, “What is yoga, and why does practicing it make you happier?” For six years, he traveled extensively, exploring the terrain of th American yoga scene, to find out.

Insightful and candid interviews with celestial yogis Shiva Rea, Erich Schiffmann, Gurmukh, Seane Corn, Dave Stringer, and otheres reveal juicy teaching tidbits. But Klein’s scope also spans beyond the celebrities, successfully showing how yoga works its magic in an underprivileged charter elementary school and offers respite for Marines, in Iraq. Yogis and yogis-to-be will find inspiration, gratitude, and resonance in this thorough yet playful probe into the diverse ways that yoga fulfills its promise of happiness. (more…)
