Discover the powerful true story of how hundreds of Ukrainian women are using Kundalini yoga to heal from war trauma, reclaim their strength,
and inspire global resilience. 

"I first gave my interview in 2023.  It feels like I’ve lived several lifetimes since then.
 Something has changed: me, my vision, my world.
 Answers have come — to the questions why?

And what for?


But one thing remains unchanged — our shared desire for peace.

 

🤍
⠀
The film turned out to be deep and very sensitive.
 It’s about us. About those who practice.
 About those united by yoga

— and by war.


 

Everyone who watches the film will recognize

a part of themselves in it.
⠀


In my view, a new era is already being born in Ukraine —
a new era of spiritual guides,
 who — through different tools (sometimes strange at first glance) — bring transformation.

Deep. Subtle. True.
⠀


The world is changing.
 We are already a part of it."

Watch to learn how trauma-informed yoga is transforming lives on the front lines and beyond.
