Y Yoga Movie (2008)
88 minutes
Y Yoga Movie is an award-winning feature documentary which premiered at the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado. The movie follows filmmaker Aurthur Klein's journey as he met and studied with several yoga teachers, including Shiva Rea, Erich Schiffman, Ally Hamilton, and Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa; as he filmed on the beach, in a charter school in South Central Los Angeles, and everywhere in between; and as he sent his camera to Iraq with yoga teacher/wrestler Diamond Dallas Page, who was teaching American soldiers there at the time.
Advance registration is set at the suggested donation rate of $10. Should you wish to make a contribution in an amount other than the $10 recommendation to our partner nonprofit, we will be accepting donations via cash and credit card at the event. Advance registration is not required.
