Yoga Documentary: Enlighten Up

There are several yoga documentaries worth seeing to get a better glimpse of yoga. The first, Yoga Unveiled, is a formal and scholarly production that examines the branches of yoga, yoga history/culture and the emerging field of yoga therapy. It is a great overview of yoga and many yoga teacher training courses use it as a multi-media learning tool.

The second is a new documentary that is more practical in that it follows how a new student to yoga is transformed through the practice. Enlighten Up follows a 29 year old skeptical journalist through India as he reflects on whether yoga is more than just a physical practice.
