On a recent trip to South India, Sandi had coffee with filmmakers from Kerala. Highly caffeinated, she talks about the status of her documentary Jhaptal (working title) which she started in 2009, and some of the connections between Ashtanga Yoga and Indian Classical Music, Sustainability, the Guru-Shishya tradition, healing trauma, and surrendering to the Divine Feminine.
