Bikram: Yogi, Guru, Predator.(2019)

For some, hot yoga is more than an exercise, it's a path to enlightenment. But the true story behind the man who brought the practice to the United States is a twisted tale of a leader who garnered a cult-like following, and then used his power to allegedly prey on the women who took his classes. Netflix has released Bikram: Yogi, Guru, Predator, a documentary from director Eva Orner that explores how Bikram Choudhury used the practice of hot yoga to become an idol to some and an alleged abuser to others. From garnering famous clients like Raquel Welch and Martin Sheen during his rise to fame in '70s-era Beverly Hills to hot yoga's explosion in popularity in the '00s, the doc will chart Choudhury's rise and his eventual fall as some of his former students came forward to accuse him of rape, sexual assault, and harassment.

InnSaei(2016)

The ancient Icelandic word for intuition is “innsæi,” but in Iceland it has multiple meanings. It can mean “the sea within” which is the borderless nature of our inner world, a constantly moving world of vision, feelings and imagination beyond words. It can mean “to see within” which means to know yourself, and to know yourself well enough to be able to put yourself in other people’s shoes. And it can mean “to see from the inside out” which is to have a strong inner compass to navigate your way in our ever-changing world.
In the inspiring and thought-provoking InnSæi – the Power of Intuition, Hrund Gunnsteinsdottir and Kristín Ólafsdóttir go on a soul-searching, global journey to uncover the art of connecting within in today’s world of distraction, disconnection and stress. They meet with world-renowned scientists like Marti Spiegelman, an expert in neuroscience and indigenous consciousness who believes that we are only using a fraction of our capacity as human beings, with devastating consequences for the planet; artists like Marina Abramovic, the “grandmother of performance art” who teaches that “in order to create something new human beings need to go into the unknown”; and spiritual leaders like the captivating Malidoma Patrice Somé, a West African elder and author who reasons that “intuition binds us together. Without it we lose our sense of purpose and belonging.” They also meet an extraordinary group of British schoolchildren who are learning how to better cope in today’s world by unlocking the power of nature and mindfulness.
Illustrated with gorgeous animation and stunning imagery, InnSæi is a film like no other, and one that offers radical insights into how we think and sense the world today.
