Tav Sparks developed Movie Yoga as a way to use the themes evoked when we watch a film to allow us to open to and process potentially powerful psycho-spiritual material.

Introduction to Movie Yoga
The Awareness positioning system
One of the tools to use in the experience of Movie Yoga is the Awareness Positioning System - or the Yoga of the Cross.
We can't put half of the archetypes out of business.
Movie Yoga is about embracing the full spectrum of human experience. When we push elements of human experience away from us we create separation, shadow and experience projection. In order to move towards wholeness, we need to embrace all aspects of the self and psyche.
