Thank
you for logging on to this website. This project
has been entirely unfunded. I started doing yoga
out of curiosity 2 years ago and was so inspired
by the people I met, the teachers, and by the
practice that I decided to buy a camera and make
this film. You normally approach film-making with
a pretty critical eye
So when I arrived in
Mysore I tried to keep as critical and sharp about
the whole set-up as possible. As I interviewed
more of the old hands and spent time there myself
I
found that what was most interesting to me as
a film-maker was the people who really believed
in the practice and in the guru. They were the
one's who were getting the most out of it. So
the whole project became a leap of faith for me
if you like
This film is about the believers,
the passionate people who take yoga to a spiritual
level and to an artform.
Please see credits
page for the creative people who have contributed
their time and skills...And thanks to my girlfriend
Cary Perkins for all of her hard work.
Finally, heartfelt thanks
and gratitude to Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and family
and to all the students who were at AYRI during
July 2005.
