Not what I expected, but in a good way, I guess.

I have some experience with Yoga. I, like Nick, went into it with the intention of getting into shape (physically). I didn't have any intention on any sort of enlightenment. I also, like Nick, did not find any real cosmic connection or [insert New Age equivalent here].

This documentary really just affirmed my ideas that the hard-core yoga folks are kooks. Some true nut-jobs. The Americans are super-hippie weirdos, and the Indians are super-spiritual weirdos.

I definitely see the physical benefits of yoga. It improves strength, which in turn improves balance and flexibility.

I just can't buy into the spiritual part of it. The promises are too out-there for me. I'm not saying they're wrong, I just don't share the same feelings.

As for the documentary itself, the director did a very poor job. She seemed like an evangelical trying to convert a lost soul. She seemed frustrated and upset when Nick "didn't get it." Just because you think yoga is super-great, it doesn't mean everyone else will. That doesn't mean that there is something wrong with that person.

I thought documentaries were supposed to be slightly objective, but it seems like they all have agendas nowadays. That's too bad. Like Nick, I would just like to know what are the facts.
