Yoga Movie Night at Bhakti House Studio

Settle in for an evening of inspiration, conversation, and connection at Bhakti House Yoga Studio. Once a month this fall, we’ll gather to enjoy two films: a thought-provoking feature followed by a lighter, uplifting second movie. Come for one or both — you’re welcome to arrive at any time.

Doors open at 5:30 PM and the first movie begins at 6:00 PM. We’ll take a short break between films before starting the second feature. Bring snacks and non-alcoholic drinks for yourself or something to share. We’ll have tea, hot chocolate, and popcorn ready for you.

6:00 pm: Awake (1 hr 26 min) – The extraordinary true story of Paramahansa Yogananda, the Indian yogi who brought meditation and Kriya Yoga to the West. A visually stunning and deeply moving portrait of a spiritual pioneer whose influence continues today.

• Yoga Relation: Speaks to abhyasa (steady practice) and ishvara pranidhana (faith) through Yogananda’s dedication to sharing yoga and meditation with the world.

7:45 pm: Onward (1 hr 42 min) – A heartwarming and adventurous Pixar story of two brothers on a quest to reconnect with their father. Filled with humor, magic, and emotional depth, this film reminds us to appreciate the love and support already present in our lives.

• Yoga Relation: Speaks to bhakti (devotion) and tapas (discipline) as two brothers journey with love and persistence toward a heartfelt goal.

9:30: End of Movies / Farewells

6:00 pm: Becoming Nobody (1 hr 21 min) – A heart-opening and humorous exploration of Ram Dass’s life and teachings, inviting us to let go of our social masks and live from our truest self.

7:30 pm: Fantastic Mr. Fox (1hr 27min) – A clever fox whose antics lead to adventure about family, friendship, and finding your place in the world. Full of clever humor, autumn charm, and a spirit of togetherness.

• Yoga Relation: Speaks to svadhyaya (self-study) as Mr. Fox embraces his true nature, and aparigraha (non-hoarding) in valuing connection over possessions.

6:00 pm: I AM (1 hr 17 min) – Filmmaker Tom Shadyac asks life’s big questions in an uplifting documentary that blends science, spirituality, and simple truths about what it means to be human.
