Filmmaker Gita Desai’s documentary trilogy of Yoga, Ayurveda and Raga Unveiled traces the history of Indian spiritual practices and highlights the great Indian masters of Yoga, Ayurveda and classical music. “I wanted to bring the depth of these practices to the people who practise yoga so that they understand the higher level of transformation that these practices can enable.
