✨ Help Us Finish the Film & Bring Yogis of Ukraine to Major International Film Festivals in 2026!
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. It is also a story of courage and finding inner peace in the midst of conflict and trauma – a story that is of service to the world and all of us at this unique time in our global history.
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.
