Leap of Faith
English Film (72 mins)

Leap of Faith is the story of Yogacharya B.K.S Iyengar’s life. He is a yogi whose name is synchronous with precision and perfection in yoga. Leap of Faith is a saga of courage and faith, of chance meetings and chosen paths, of perseverance in the face of insurmountable hurdles, of the triumph of the human spirit and of his union (yoga) with the divine consciousness.

This 72-minute film spans nine decades of Guruji’s life and over 70 years of his practices and teachings. It shows him as a The guru, teacher, husband, father and shishya – a multifaceted personality. This film helps to reveal the simple man behind a complex and towering personality. It is an endeavour to capture the man behind the phenomenon.
