Planet Yoga @ Radio-Canada

After having been screened at multiple festivals, the documentary Planet Yoga by Carlos Ferrand will air in two parts on RDI this January 21st and 22nd at 20h. Planet Yoga takes us on a journey from East to West through the universe of Yoga.

How did words like nirvana, karma, guru, reincarnation, meditation, and “Om” come to be part of everyday language in the West? The answer lies in yoga, the fastest?growing spiritual practice around the world. 

Planet Yoga tells the fascinating story of the encounter between the ancient eastern discipline of yoga and a western population. This convergence has given birth to the most popular mind?body movement on the planet. Featuring a colorful cast of characters, a compelling musical score, and unexpected locations on three continents, the film explore yoga’s social uses and its powerful attraction for a Western world in search of meaning. Behind the joyful energy of Planet Yoga is the collective admission that materialism has hit the wall, and it is now time tolook inwards formeaning and peace.
