  In this documentary Americans were judging yoga instructors according to christian morality where materialism and money are seen as evil. In hinduism money and materialism are not evil and they can be very much a part of spirituality. People should judge yogi's according to hindu standards and not christian standards.

  Amazing documentary. It made me sad and at the same time hopefull.I hope some real "yogis" survive and preserve this essence of yoga.

  Thank you for preparing this documentary film. It is very inspiring and gripping. I 100% agree that yoga should not be competitive, extremely commercialized and expensive up to a point that it is inaccessibkle to those who are willing to practice. I was just intrigued about the segments pertaining to Bikram Choudhury,I still have respect for this man, as his yoga style is the reason behind my desire to practice yoga. I hope you continue to do more enlightening films like this!! This is really awesome! :D

  History is valuable. This was a valuable information and there is lots more about the yoga movement that is important for people to know. I appreciate the time and energy this movie took and am glad for the education about yoga in this country. Thank You, Virginia

  Yup, it was inevitable, I saw it coming twenty-eight years ago: the "fadification" of yoga - being popular because it was/is popular. It is not necessarily "bad" but this is a phase of the growth of the practice in 21st C. U.S. (and the western world). There will be the hubub, side-taking, and lawsuits for another 5-10 yrs, which will subside, with yoga's popularity replaced by the next "great thing", at which time equilibrium will re-establish itself and yoga's longevity will prove itself.

  Such an enlightening documentary about a subject that is close to the heart to millions of practitioners. Yoga is a part of my life and will always be. The film gives such a clear description of what yoga is and its benefits. As the film said "Yoga is the answer to everything!" I have a blog about yoga and this is an invitation to check it out and give comments or share your experience. http://yoga-with-melissa.com Namaste!

  Good flick. Funny how the history of yoga in U.S. went from sixties "spiritual dissatisfaction with materialism" to today's McYoga. The list of bogus Gurus faking out desperate Americans is longer than my arm. Comical!

  Thanks for showing this film. A great illustration of what happens when egos get involved and things become about "me" and "mine". But even if people are drawn to yoga simply as a fitness choice yoga has a way of inviting them to explore its deeper mysteries. Many of us have began with a focus on asana practice and ended up with a primarily meditative focus. Ultimately it is about each of us being in integrity, and of surrendering to something bigger within us. Yoga, in it's many paths, allows us to go from where we are to the experience of the Absolute. It is the same journey, it just appears different. http://www.essential-yoga-for-men.com
