Some time during the December holidays in 2008, I helped Suniti with this documentary on the different Yoga styles in South Africa. “Yoga in Africa” was flighted last year and had an amazing response. And now its back!

Yoga in Africa is a local documentary that explores the ancient origins and spiritual
significance of yoga. Interweaving insights from various yogic schools of thought,
it demystifies commonly held perceptions of yoga as just a health and fitness modality
and beautifully illustrates that it’s a sacred science integrating body, mind and spirit instead.

The documentary also takes a look at yoga in the context of some of the specific challenges
facing Africa such as HIV / AIDS, disability, crime rehabilitation and healing from trauma.
Internationally respected teachers Swami Niranjananda, Swami Pragyamurti and Deepak
Chopra are featured alongside many well-known names from the local yoga community.

Yoga in Africa is produced by Moksham Productions and directed
by Suniti Kala. (www.mokshamproductions.com)

Today the Complete Yoga team are shooting the new cover for the next magazine.

I like the photo of Michelle and the clothes designer which matches the artwork on the wall.

Angela, are these pics ok, or am I giving too much away?

This morning Eskom decided on restricted electricity access for us and so I had an opportunity to take some pics of the garden.
