WHAT IS YOGA?

Free Community Film + Conversation

Sunday, September 20, 2026

5:00 PM — Welcome + Film Introduction with Maria
5:30 PM — Film Begins

We practice Yoga—but how much do we know about where our practice comes from?

Join us at Casa Veda for a free community evening created for people who love Yoga and want to understand it more deeply. Come together to learn, connect, reflect, and grow as we explore the people, traditions, and teachings that helped shape modern Yoga.

We will screen Breath of the Gods, a documentary exploring the origins of modern Yoga through the life and teachings of Sri T. Krishnamacharya and the tradition that influenced generations of teachers and practitioners.

The film offers a fascinating opportunity to look beyond the postures and reconnect with the roots, lineage, and living tradition of Yoga. Following the film, we’ll gather for an informal community conversation and reflection:

What is Yoga? How has the practice evolved? And what does it mean to honor tradition while allowing Yoga to remain meaningful in our lives today?

Evening Schedule

This event is free and open to the community. Everyone is welcome—from the Yoga-curious to longtime practitioners and teachers.

Come comfortably! We have yoga mats and some chairs available, and you are welcome to bring anything else you would like for comfortable sitting during the film.

You are also invited to bring a simple vegetarian snack or non-alcoholic beverage to share with the community.
