Why you can trust 12DOVE
Like Jiro Dreams Of Sushi for the bendy-bodied, Jan Schmidt-Garre’s documentary mounts an investigation into a demanding discipline.
Visiting India to explore the roots of modern yoga, Schmidt-Garre discovers how one T Krishnamacharya helped turn a misunderstood practice into a popular “fusion of body and mind”.
Assembled from archive footage, interviews with practitioners and extraordinary feats of agility, it lacks narrative momentum but not warm humour or extreme headstands: you won’t need telling twice that certain moves are “definitely not for beginners”.
