Unveiling the extraordinary journey of a frail child who grew up to help millions overcome physical ailments through the practice of yoga, the film explores B.K.S. Iyengar’s roles as a disciple, teacher, husband, father and guru. Narrated by the critically acclaimed Naseeruddin Shah, an Iyengar Yoga student himself, this inspiring story celebrates the pioneer’s indomitable spirit and his universally enriching impact.
