The film begins with a visual and aural initiation. The journey inward then explores the key requirements of Hatha Yoga: FIRMNESS of mind; The importance of FAITH; The necessity of a qualified TEACHER; The benefits of MODERATION; The methods to RESTRAIN the senses; and The practice of universal EQUANIMITY. Throughout the film, the microcosm of the internal self in relation to the macrocosm of the elements, seasons, time of day, and other external forces of nature are examined. The narrative is woven together through commentary, wisdom, and insight from those who continue to uphold and live by the ancient ways of yoga. Throughout, AGNIYOGANA offers rarely seen glimpses of traditional Hatha Yoga practices as expressed by modern day yogins. AGNIYOGANA is a meditation.
