How the ancient teachings of Yoga were brought to the West and the far reaching effects on society is a story told for the first time in this documentary that informs, entertains and provokes self-inquiry. Yoga is over 5000 years old, yet is relatively new to Americans. Swami Satchidananda was one of the first Yoga masters to bring the classical Yoga tradition to the West. He introduced westerners to Yoga, meditation, vegetarian diet and a more compassionate, less self-centered lifestyle after he was invited to America in 1966 by the iconic pop artist Peter Max. An estimated twenty-five million Americans now practice Yoga to manage stress, promote health and create a more meaningful life.
