Yogis of Ukraine: Women Using Yoga to Heal Their Country and Inspire the World
“Money is like water. It can be a conduit for commitment, a currency of love... Let your soul inform your money, and your money express your soul.” — Lynne Twist, The Soul of Money
A World at War, A Light Emerges.
In the chaos of war, most people run. But in Ukraine, a courageous group of women chose another path. They stayed. Not to fight—but to meditate, to breathe, to heal, and to stand in peace amid devastation.
They are yogis. They are warriors of the spirit. And this is their story.
The Film: Yogis of Ukraine
Over two years ago, our filmmaking team stumbled upon a story unlike anything we had ever seen. In bomb shelters, on military bases, and inside hospitals, hundreds of Ukrainian women are practicing
and teaching Kundalini Yoga—not just to survive, but to heal their nation. They work with amputees. They teach trauma breath work to soldiers. They gather in meditation to radiate peace into the field of war. Our film, Yogis of Ukraine, captures the intimate voices of 35 of these women. It is a story of spiritual. strength, sacred practice, and luminous resilience—told entirely in their own words.

Why We Need You
Launching a World Peace Movement is not easy.
This film began as a paid job. But when funding fell through, we chose to keep going anyway.
Why?
Because the story is too powerful not to be told.
Because these women are lighting up the darkest corners of war.
And because the world needs hope.
To finish this film and take it across Europe—where Ukraine’s fate matters deeply—we need your support.
