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😊
To all my fat pals watching:
YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE THIN AND FLEXIBLE TO BE A YOGUI
EXACTLY!! Yoga is beneficial for ALL body shapes and sizes, abilities, strengths, etc. >> yoga is breath and movement according to ones' own breath cycle (ex. down regulation vs. up regulation--depending what one wants!) and ones' own physical, mental and emotional/spiritual 'edge' if you will. With consistent practice growth is inevitable:) #accessibleToEveryone
but you need to be thin to be a goodlooking and healthy Yogui
Sure , they don't need , but will be a real challenge for them . Yoga means union - body, soul and spirit in one , so in the begining they will feel very uncomfortable in some asanas . But that's the beauty of yoga , it's a journey ! :)
Flexibilizing the body is flexibilize the mind because the body is the mind, everything is chitta more or less concentrated.
Amen!
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!
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 recommend yoga with adrienes videos!! Her 30 day challanges are amazing

@@ondemandaquaworkouts Your self promo says nothing.
How about actually paying attention to what people are saying? and responding with something that shows you actually heard the person? Then respond with something that may be of benefit to the people you're reaching out to.
As it is your promo is generic and offers no specific reason to check it out. How are your workouts the "best"? For who? How?
And how are they "effective"? For what? For whom?
How are you going? 4 years on??
That’s amazing 🤩 congratulations 🎊
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!!
sanda.x meditation and breathing and rating ate the most difficult aspectos of yoga
Absolutely.
yama is the most difficult part.
I
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
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.
It can! These people are doing yoga by years! Flexibility and stranght is just side effect! It comes as a bonus.
YES!!!! I AGREE SO MUCH!
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.
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 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
True
Absolutely true.
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 don't care that this is an advert. It's still pretty inspiring.
Beautiful collage of incredible yogis and their journeys. Love!
tears,,,,,so beautiful thank u wonderful yogis brilliant teachers teaching me to give more bless u tears...more tears namaste!!!faith grace love ............
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.
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.
Such a beautiful documentary. And I appreciate all the women of a multicultural background.

Beautiful footage. But the story seems totally skewed to attractive young women - very much in line with the mainstream/commercial marketing of Yoga in the west. I live at a Yoga retreat center that welcomes thousands of guests each year. The average age of our guests is 55.
Thx India ..for all of this😍🤩🥰😍🇮🇳🇮🇳✌️✌️
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
My God these foreigners keep talking nonsense about Yoga. obviously they just know asanas n nothing else. If any of them would be yogis they wouldn't be so commercial as to advertise a clothing line. Doing it like gymnastics. Infact one of the girls is from circus. So yeah have fun doing what you are doing but don't call it yoga
Thank you r bringing back respect to a sacred practice. Capitalism buys everything. Even tries to buy spirit
Western yoga is one big commercial circus!!!
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.
"Dharma" is a sacred word and y'all actually using it as a brand name? 😕
This is deeply Hinduphobic
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
INDIA is the Birth place of SPIRITUALITY ANd YOGA❤️❤️
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
lauraaitaliaa
really it's good
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.

Yoga saved my life, I AM A MAN, let's represent males in yogic culture, abundant blessings
Where u from sir?
Bravooooo🙏🌞💕yes !!💐 Welcome all Divine masculinity so no more gender war. We are one☯️
'Shiva' is the founder of Yog.
That feeling when you're looking for something spiritual on YT and it turns out to be an advertisement.
May Ploy 'Samadhi the movie' is a good one. Once you've searched for that you'll see many others in the suggestions!
Yet she have done some good
Than non doers
A great one too
Srsly? With all the free content? You’re complain? Are you paying for her life!?
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 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.
That's it. I want to go and live in an ashram in the forest/ mountains. I have loved yoga since it was introduced to me 15 years ago, but I didn't do it for a long time. After becoming unfit I recently started running and doing some daily yoga at home. I feel like a brand new woman already.
Only India have such ashrams
Don't call yourself a Yogi if you think Yoga is a form of exercise. It's a way of life. How you think, what you do, decisions you make etc etc.
Exactamente
👏👏👏👏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
Beautiful well made and inspiring documentary.

Beautifully done! 🙏🏽❤️
So only skinny flexible women have a spiritually transformative experience with their yoga practice? I love that these women shared their touching personal experiences with their practice, but the images they create only make more people feel as if yoga isn't for them. Where are the people with different shaped bodies? Where are the diabled? Where are the old yogis? Everyone is able to have a profoundly transformative experience and all of those experiences are worthy. Asana is but one rung on the path of Raja yoga and it is a tool - to be used in service of calming and stilling the mind so that it may become one pointed - it is not the goal, but yet the West idolizes the body that is thin and flexible adoring the shapes that that they makes and then western minded capitalists use this distortion to turn a profit.
I was thinking exactly the same thing. I'm disabled from a spinal injury to the neck, I'm looking into Yoga now as a path to recovery, but everything I find on UA-cam is "Hi! I'm a beautiful young person who was already awesome, but Yoga made me so much awesomer!"

beautiful video. all these yogis... awww
Nice...BUT...same as the comments below .... drop dead beautiful women mostly with gorgeous tattoos and by the end sensually in bikinis covered in sand. All okay but would've like to see some diversity, fat, old lady whose life was transformed, teenage boy perhaps? Older man or even a few men. Bit too pretty which would've been okay except it was every person in the movie looking "fab'". At the end i saw the credits to a yoga active wear manufacturer and it made sense, weird looking people don't sell clothes. Sorry if i sound negative but really?
Impressive gymnastics! But if you think, this is Yoga, you couldn´t be farer away from understanding. Don´t watch this advertise if you are interested to learn.
Beautiful and made me want to explore yoga again
Awesome documentary on Yoga!~ Just loved it. Thanks for posting and sharing. Look forward to my yoga journey :)

I get that this is supposed to be inspiring and beautiful, but this is exactly the kind of stuff that has kept me off the mat for years. This idea that yoga is for skinny, beautiful girls only. I've started yoga so many times, and always quit because of this idea, thinking I'm not skinny or flexible enough. I realize that's my problem to deal with, but still videos like this really enforce those insecurities. And I'm sure I'm not the only one :-(
You are beautiful, please be yourself. This images of woman and what they represent do not show our real unique true beauty. We need authenticity and leave our innermost deepest fears as women: that we are more than bodies and sexobjects. We need the qild woman. Read " womand who run qith the wolves" feel blessed
Man I was wondering why this didn't feel as deep as it was trying to look... then I realized it's an ad for activewear. Bit pathetic.
You don't know what you are talking about.
The words of Aline are extremely sweet
That was very beautiful and extremely well said. As always. Thank you for these inspiring words.
next time take people from every age, weight , height, ..
Doesn't look as pretty of course, but you are quite right that it's possible: here's a slightly flabby 65-yr old doing these same difficult positions: ua-cam.com/video/PkX_cPuS92c/v-deo.html
why do you feel the need to tell someone else what to do? she can do what she wants.
Just a word...WONDERFUL

Yoga saved my life.
Same here brothers!!!
how?
tell us plz 😳😳😳
i want to hear the story but i guess i am 2 year late 😅😅😅
Superb
I'm a yoga beginner student, I'm glad this was in my UA-cam recommendations😊💚💜🙏🙏
Little hard to make it a documentary when it's pretty much a long advertisement for these clothes. Maybe they could have had people of all shapes wear the outfits, add something new.
Its funny they dont have very muscular arms but it requires a lot of strength do some positions
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.
No matter the reason for why you did it. The fact that you started and kept going. Well done you. Namaste
I appreciate your attitude towards yoga
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
This is absolutly wonderful and breathtaking! So much pure love and life in it! Thank you Alessandro for this incredible piece of art!
This is more gymnastics than Basic yoga for normal people
Ironically, yoga asanas were initially developed and designed with pre-pubescent acrobatic boys.
Wow...You are so inspiring! Thank you!
Beautiful ...
Laruga's strength is just amazing!! So inspiring, loved watching this :)
Amazing!
It was a cool movie until I saw that it's just a commercial for Yoga pants. This is what Yoga has become.

@@ondemandaquaworkouts Seriously?
Your self promo is everywhere with no mindfulness to where you're posting let alone a conscious response.
That'll win you lots of followers. 😉
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.
"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.
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 - - -
Where are the elders?? All I saw were mostly young - pre 40 - mostly female lookers. C'mon guys, beauty is on the inside - the outside doesn't last! Wake up to the illusion!!!! *x
Yoga is powerful💪
Kino is the one who brought me from "doing" yoga to practicing yoga. It is truly a spiritual practice.
Me too! I've met her twice and her husband Tim too! Lovely lovely people!
Gosh I wish people would spend more time on the full ashtanga. Asana isn't the only thing. Kinda like how folks just pick out mindfulness from Buddhism. It's not a complete path.
Yoga has 8 limbs. Asanas is just one of them. Doing asanas without doing the other 7 limbs, it's like taking a shower with an umbrella.
Wich are those 8 limbs?

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.
Sooo nice no words to say
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.😍🙏🏾
hahahaha i dont untherstand nothing, do yoga, look inside but wear my cloths, hahahaha looks bit contradiccion. naked yoga is the best.
Great!
Some people have pain no matter how gentle the stretch, how well they breathe, how connected they are how slowly they take this in....and to those I say perhaps there is interference...and it may be that your poor body has gotten overloaded with toxins (environmental) which cause constant and painful muscle contraction and make for painful joints, ligaments and fascia. It may not be that you aren't doing all you can or that you aren't flexible...detox your body...it that isn't it, just go with what you sense you need...a mind detox, stress detox...some fascial release, scar tissue work, fascial stretch therapy...on and on etc. We just aren't all at this level and may never be....we just need to not give up - on ourselves. The very best are featured here, kind of like comparing the average person to a supermodel....don't let that stop you. You be the BEST YOU.
yoga is a way of reaching in other dimension , it was meant to attain liberation from this body , but it also helps in regaining ur health but if u want to learn it for to reach God , u should learn it from enlightened master 😇

1st sentence error. Should be: "Acting in concert (not 'concern') with our divine purpose in life is our dharma." Maybe copy editing should be part of your dharma? *wink*
Just focusing so much on the body, how it performs and looks are very long way to achieve what is Yoga Sutras of Patanjali teach us - what yoga is? physical aspect of yoga is such a small part of the teachings. Instead Ancient gurus teach meditation and path of self-realization beyond this physical body or attachment to it, path to "Who am I?" Patanjali doesn't teach attachment to physical projection of the ego. Dear women yogi Let's stop focusing on wearing yoga pants to satisfy our ego and vanity - let's connect with Divine within 🙏 we all already have
Well its a nice foto, admire that at least

Spiritual sales pitch. So not cool.
Lovely documentary. I'm just surprised they wore such revealing clothing in India.
I really get the purpose of this documentary to inspire, but why are these stories only about female yogi's in sexy tight yoga attires?
Xiaobin Zhu may be they want man to do yoga because women r already doing it😂😂😂😂
Dharma Bums Activewear is a yoga clothing line. all of these yogis in their practice are wearing their clothes. The guy was the only one who wasn't I believe. Maybe eventually they'll make a mens line as well.
It's an ad for a clothing line.
Tara Faye atleast don't call them yogis
ugh. this is annoying. these yogis were clearly obsessed with being uber flexible and attaining something. They pushed their bodies to the limits, just like a paid athlete.....NOT YOGA

Yes, there is. Swadharma
hilarious
It's a beautiful documentary to watch, set in beautiful locations and talking about the positive effects of yoga. 🙏 However, I found it uncomfortable to watch women practicing yoga or hulla hooping exposing too much their bodies in public places in India. The documentary is mostly portraying young and skinny women doing very advanced ashtanga yoga sequences. Far from reality of my simple daily hatha yoga practise, which also transformed my life profoundly.
Let us be completely frank... this video is supposed to be about Yoga... without containing any of it... just as usual when things fall in Ego´s domain.
Many people learned Yoga from gurus and teach others by the name of "Christian Yoga".... Lol😂🤯
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.
Que genial estaría si lo pudiese ver en castellano
The powerful yoga 👌👌
Let's begin with the obvious:
1) The production values in this advert-mentary are absolutely gorgeous. Both the production crew and the yogis are to be commended.
2) This is, ultimately, a promotional video for an activewear company so in a visual medium and to attract their target market, young attractive females are mostly featured.
3) In recent years, the concept of cultural appropriation is slowly gaining traction. In years to come, this video might well be held up as exhibit A for the prosecution.
4) The counter argument is, that if videos such as this, indirectly help to spread a discipline that brings both physical and psychological benefits to its practitioners then what right does anybody have to climb aboard their self-righteous, intellectual high-horse and tut-tut the popularity of yoga amongst white, middle-class western females?
5) Here's what I reckon Dharma Bums should have done. This video should be imbedded in their own website - but not made publicly accessible on youtube. That way, the advertisement / documentary distinction would have been more clear and the exploitation of yoga debate might not developed to the extent it did.
6) Another video could have been produced. An extended or alternate version to this one. The alternate video could have featured a wider demographic cross-section and could have been the one that was posted to UA-cam.
Thoughtful. Well said.
Wow! Just Wow! I have such a deep appreciation about this message & the power of these women! Thank you for creating this movie!
Well a clothing brand named Dharmabums activewear what did you think? Those fashion models dont have nothing to do neither with yoga nor with dharma, especially not in those outfits. That's what they are actually with their insipid speech: bums of dharma. Yes they're hot and sexy, but that's not what one of the most ancient way of life of the world is about. Actually those are still the same people colonizing other's cultures since day one, and draging them down to their low way to look at life. No matter where they come from, Dubai, India, Spain, all those girls are still a product of the western/british/american imperialism: beautiful rich people in a lavish fake environnement... And they really feel they are yogis, meditators, spiritual persons... I've met tons of them in India, who smoke weed, talk and show too much of their body to be honnestly spiritual, and are addicted to anti-depressant drugs, very reactive and unaware, but yes they still can look and talk good and that's all that matters...
did you not hear them say that they leave their egos at the door?
Jon Jon and maybe you should learn to get rid of judgment... pay attention to your speech also
Oh well lucky you for being so enlightened.
Working on mind is also important with fit body. Tge voices I hear are very high pitch under lot of stress and pressure. Relax and release your mind diaturbances. Go inside and the truth is there...very subtle sublimation to silence
