FILM Announcement: Braiding Knowledge through Breath, Language, and Movement ~ Trailer

A glimpse into the Braiding Knowledge through breath, language, and movement film, directed by Jessica Barudin featuring the trailer edit by Cody Preston. This is a short documentary that features the First Nations Women’s Yoga advisory circle and team who are sharing the parallels of yoga and Indigenous ways of being. A celebration of First Nations women and their communities who are brought together through their love of yoga, healing, and reclamation of ancestral languages and lifeways. The film features a community wellness strategy that braids cultural and spiritual knowledge systems through a trauma-informed lens.
