For Kate: Were any of the teachers (especially the Americans) upset by their portrayals in the film? Some of them wound up looking less than stellar in their interviews, and I was wondering what feedback you got. Did you get any “un-yogic” reactions?

For Nick: As a result of your deep immersion in yoga, do you now read any yoga magazines or blogs, or go to class regularly? Do you meditate?

Was there any thought given to introducing Nick to “yoga-lite” American studios/ teachers to start? I’m just thinking that most people I know start with gym yoga for 20 minute sessions and take 6 months to a year to get to a regular practice. Did he or Kate ever feel the jump directly from yoga-newbie to traveling to India was too far a leap for lasting change? Or was the intentional all-out immersion seen as the most direct route to transformation for him?

To Kate,

Why was the decision made to not interview or include interviews with more North American teachers.

After making this film, do you still agree with your original premise that “yoga can transform *anyone*”? By “transform”, do you mean a spiritual transformation? A physical change? A clarity in thought?

Do you think that such a transformation is a permanent change in perspective, or reverts once a yoga practice is abandoned?

I haven’t seen the movie yet, but am very excited to see it!!
