One could, however, wish that this endless encomium played less like a PowerPoint sales pitch, illustrated with clip-art imagery, scored with generic music and narrated in mellifluous tones by Annette Bening. Go to Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 10/19/2012
Kate Clere McIntyre and Saraswati Clere's less than revelatory documentary that incessantly makes the point that yoga is really, really good for you. Go to Full Review Sara Stewart New York Post 10/19/2012

With a stronger narrative spine and a little more sense of gender-gap curiosity, Yogawoman could bridge the gap between faithful yoga adherents and a general audience. As is, it does not. Go to Full Review Gabrielle Lipton Paste Magazine 10/26/2012
6.7/10

Urainia: (grabs book/points) Right here he says this is all The Mother's. You cannot possess what is already The Mother's. (hands book back) Apasmara: Oh. (looks at book) I see... Urainia: And this was written by a fellow snake like yourself. Apasmara: What? Urainia: Pantanjali was a snake, yes. Snakes really know how to explain all this to fellow snakes, unlike some Buddhists and Orthodox Jews who keep women out of their spiritual studies for obvious reasons. Apasmara: Obvious reasons? Urainia: Snakes like to keep up the play that they're in charge.

Documentaries sometimes run the risk of overloading the audience with facts and information, but Yogawoman avoids this by interspersing enjoyable and engaging personal stories told by individual women whose lives have been profoundly changed for the better through doing yoga. A delightful film. See more 12/18/2013 This is a great - and important! - film. Beautifully shot and very uplifting. Don't miss it. See more 12/18/2013 Wow!
