Exclusive London Screening of new Yogawoman film

This new ground-breaking film, Yogawoman, explores a global phenomenon that has changed the face of yoga forever and transformed the lives of millions of over-stimulated, over-scheduled, multi-tasking modern women.

Please join us for this exclusive London screening on 22 September 2011 which will be followed by a Q & A session with the cast and filmmakers.

The film focuses on the impact of yoga on women's health, fitness, emotional well-being, and personal growth. It shows how yoga has come out of the studio and into the real world, into cancer clinics, African villages, urban streets and prisons, to radically change the lives of women worldwide.

In personal interviews, women around the world reveal how yoga has helped them face conditions like breast cancer, infertility, anxiety and depression, given them strength to recover from abuse and eating disorders, and helped them through pregnancy, motherhood, and menopause.

The film introduces mainstream audiences to top teachers in the UK such as Katy Appleton, Caroline Shola Arewa, Gabriela Bozic and Claire Missingham, plus numerous others from around the globe, many of whom have become worldwide icons with rock-star status in the yoga community, as well as forward-thinking medical professionals, physicians and researchers.

The film is narrated by award-winning actress Annette Bening who is a keen yoga advocate. "Yoga started in acting school for me, now it serves me in my life,” said Bening. “I think you need yoga more as you get older. As well as being just good exercise, you're dealing with different body issues and the cycles of life.”
