Awake: The Life of Yogananda

This video (it’s actually more of a documentary) won’t exactly get you sweating, but it’s an enjoyable look at the philosophical underpinnings of yoga and its entrance into U.S. culture. The film focuses on Hindu Swami, who brought yoga and meditation to the Western world in the early 20th century, but also weaves in plenty of scientific and historical info. If nothing else, it will remind you — and perhaps even inspire you — that yoga offers a hell of a lot more than just physical benefits.
