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.
