$15.95
If you had the chance to meet some of the world’s most enlightened Yoga masters, what would you ask them? Now here is your chance to find out and reach deep into the minds of the Yoga Gurus from both East and West. We ask what is Yoga? How should I practice? Do I have to be flexible? Do I need religion? What is Yoga like in India?
Now you have no excuses – you now have the chance to meet some of the world’s most enlightened yoga masters! What do you want to know? What would you ask them? The Yoga Gurus is your chance to hear from them! Filmed on location in India from the lap of the northern Himalayas in Rishikesh to the south in Mysore, you will meet the top yoga teachers from both east and west. Go beyond the physical asanas of yoga and deep into the mind and inner being of a yoga guru. Their words will guide you to become a better person and healthier in both mind and body. “Yoga is self realization” says Shareth nephew of Pattabhi Jois…”to become enlightened.”
This realization of what is true yoga will give you the keys to open a door that will leave behind the external pressures we live with each day and a life unfulfilled with material things. “Now I have the abundance, I have the wealth and met the goals but I don’t have the happiness.” says yoga guru Gurmukh about the west. Developing perfect posture and balance is just the first step for these yoga masters. The physical side of yoga, the asana is the beginning of the journey for most practitioners in India. We take you out of the shala to the ancient source of yoga, where Himalayan yogis, saints and holy men spend a lifetime of meditation and austere yoga practice to find enlightenment. “Yoga tones your mind and spirit and your entire being” says Pujya Swamiji… “Learn and live, what more do you want!” Understanding who you are without external gratification is the ultimate goal of a yogi and will lead to a lifetime of happiness. If that’s not enough we take you into the yoga schools and allow you to witness the classes and techniques that each guru teaches during class. Listen to the words of wisdom from teachers of Ashtanga and Hatha Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Jivamukti and the yoga of devotion – Bhakti Yoga. Take your yoga practice to a higher level and enrich your life forever.

Paul Kemp –
I quite enjoyed this film. While there is perhaps a little too much time spent on filler shots, the interviews with the various teachers provides a very uplifting introduction to what yoga is beyond simple asana (and how asana ties into the whole)
Talat Halman –
This documentary offers extensive interviews with a variety of yoga teachers all based in India, some indigenous Indians and some Europeans and Americans. This makes for a great introduction to yoga and shows the similarities and continuities among a variety of lineages. Since it focuses so long on each individual, it is a little slow going for those of us not perfectly yogically centered. But overall, this is an eye-opening documentary.
John DiStefano –
This is a greatly inspiring documentary on yoga, which strives to offer you, and certainly seems to leave you with- at least it really did for me, anyway- an honest and whole picture of what yoga truly is. I highly recommend the watching of this, to even those with only just the slightest of interest in this area, as it may quite possibly result in altering your perception, expanding your consciousness, and likely more importantly, enriching your life.
