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
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 🎊
INDIA is the Birth place of SPIRITUALITY ANd YOGA❤️❤️
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😊
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.
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.
Yoga a gift to humanity from ancient India .
Yoga saved my life.
Sergio Gil I know right
Sergio Gil mine too! Happy days
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 😅😅😅
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.
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!!
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'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.

Such a beautiful documentary. And I appreciate all the women of a multicultural background.

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!
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.
I did not see people critique physique of the yogi, what I saw was people asking for inclusivity of the physical body, you cannot deny that there is only one type in this video. This is a beautiful documentary no doubt but so were many programs on the TV in the early days!!! before inclusivity was a thing so most of us did not see ourselves on the TV or could not relate coz they were pretty slim beautiful ppl and if u were any different you prolly saw them in smaller roles, just an example. There is nothin wrong in askin for inclusivity. It does not in any sense mean less of the ppl in the video or the documentary itself! Especially yoga is inclusive of gender, colour, body type, race, age which does not show here!
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 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.
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
I'm a yoga beginner student, I'm glad this was in my RUclips recommendations😊💚💜🙏🙏
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!?
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.
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: ruclips.net/video/b10PcExvMeA/видео.html
I hope you enjoy it!
@@yogawchris Why would anyone follow a non-descript link?
@@yogawchris wow that's a bit presumptuous.I know you were only trying to help. I'm 65 and just returning to my practise after 10 years
@@birgip.m.1236 I see how that is non-descript and how lack of information led to discernment. Thank you for the awareness.
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.
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.
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
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 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
"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.
Laruga's strength is just amazing!! So inspiring, loved watching this :)
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 - - -
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.
I don't care that this is an advert. It's still pretty inspiring.
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
That's exactly how I feel-that I've finally come home!
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.
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 absolutly wonderful and breathtaking! So much pure love and life in it! Thank you Alessandro for this incredible piece of art!
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.
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.😍🙏🏾
Wow! Just Wow! I have such a deep appreciation about this message & the power of these women! Thank you for creating this movie!
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 💗
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.
Beautiful collage of incredible yogis and their journeys. Love!
Yoga is powerful💪
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.
We do need yoga!! This is such a powerful technique to get rid of stress and be happy!!!
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 :)
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.
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.
AMAZING.... Incredible documentary - goes to the heart of yoga.
tears,,,,,so beautiful thank u wonderful yogis brilliant teachers teaching me to give more bless u tears...more tears namaste!!!faith grace love ............
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.
This couldn't have come at a better time for me. Thank you thank you thank you
I appreciate your attitude towards yoga
Absolutely stunning. Thanks you all for sharing your journeys. I got so inspired, and thankful for my own practice. Namaste.
Just look at these women... So many different body types, nationalities, types of faces, quite wide age range and every single one is just so incredibly beautiful! Once you have the serenity inside you it shines through, it's incredible...!
i love Laruga such wonderful soul
wowww très inspirant! merci pour ces beaux partages qui me donne le goût de continuer!
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 😇
nice bro
God.... there is no concept of God in Sanatan Dharma, if you know that?
@@petruspachis4856 Universe = God.
@@petruspachis4856 We are practicing Sanatan Dharma for ages here in India. You are wrong. Shiva is indeed the founder of Yoga. He is the Supreme God of hinduism
Thank you❤Thank you❤Thank you❤
someone mentioned nothing happens by accident. Then for sure watching this is one of those things for me.
Thank you Cosmos Constionsness for leading me in many ways to my new and beautiful path. 🙏🙇

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
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
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
the people in this documentary are very beautiful and inspiring
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
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!
THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE, I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN EVER GET TO THIS PLACE, BUT I REALLY WANT TO.
Lovely documentary. I'm just surprised they wore such revealing clothing in India.
This is more gymnastics than Basic yoga for normal people
Ironically, yoga asanas were initially developed and designed with pre-pubescent acrobatic boys.
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'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
🌴♥️🌴 what a great documentary!!! Yoga softens the heart and connect you to your inside yes! Yes! Yes!
22.42 When Kino talks about the points of difficulty! I felt it deeply resonating!!!
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.
🙏
Beautiful documentary! Everyone should watch it! :)
What struck me most was the power and centeredness that these women radiate.
The proper fact of making it a business closes the way.
it's a shame there isn't more diversity in the Yogi's highlighted in this film. This just reinforces the yoga stereotypes and why many think they can't do Yoga

This is such a beautieful and motivating video
I'm crying😭😂💘
Jule Kie lol😂😂 I m crying too🍼😭😭😭😭😭😆😆😆😭😭😭
like from india
Such powerful Goddesses in this film, I could feel their radiance...
it's an important part ....in raja yoga swami vivekananda said it is important to have a physical discipline ...your breath should be rhythmic and asana should be perfect.... if you don't have discipline in your body your mind will venture out
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!
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
Beautifully done! 🙏🏽❤️
You all are so correct - this emphasizes grounding and how motivation comes from within - Thanks! ❤
Pure beauty: Pictures, poses, poetry. thank you.
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.
Your reaction is a mirror to your own thoughts
Beautiful well made and inspiring documentary.
.
Excellent! So inspiring to me in my own practice.
This is lovely!! Just finished 30 days of Hatha and i feel lubricated really like someone just sprayed DW40. :)
Beautifully crafted sand so inspiring. I just started yoga a few months ago and I love it. Thank you. Namaste 🙏🏼
Beautiful documentary!. Thanks for sharing such inspirational stories.
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 totally vibe with what the second woman is speaking about.
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 RUclips.
Thoughtful. Well said.
This a beautifully executed video with some amazing woman with lovely stories to tell. Well done.
I would for sure, for sure take what resonated me the most- the message of each individual's experiences. They're ALL beautiful and I'm grateful for their contribution. However, I still love Esther-Abraham Hicks!! :-))
you are beautiful, and the process that takes so much dedication shows through your work....excellent...all love!
