In this 90‑minute French‑language podcast, host Mélanie Berthaud (psychoanalyst, yoga and meditation teacher) interviews filmmaker and author Stéphane Haskell about his documentary Debout (2019) and his lifelong relationship with yoga. Stéphane recounts a severe spinal injury (cauda‑equina syndrome) that left him unable to walk, the desperate search for relief, and how a charismatic teacher introduced him to yoga, leading to a three‑year intensive training that restored his mobility and reshaped his worldview. He explains how Debout evolved from a collection of stories about people emerging from extreme suffering (prisoners, the seriously ill) into a personal narrative that he felt compelled to include, describing his subjects as “passeurs” – mentors who guide transformation. The conversation expands to the therapeutic value of yoga in prisons, schools, and for children, with Mélanie sharing her own 25‑year practice, teaching experience in French and British schools, and observations of rising anxiety and insomnia among young students. Both discuss institutional resistance (administrative bans, cultural skepticism) and the need to present yoga as a non‑commercial, accessible practice for all ages and abilities, including wheelchair users. Stéphane outlines his broader outreach: the book Respire (personal story), Yoga au fil des jours (108 postures with guiding quotes), Écoute (sound and mantra work), and Dans les yeux d’Elektra (tribute to his rescue dog). They touch on anecdotal evidence of yoga’s anti‑aging effects, scientific observations of denser bone structure in practitioners, and the desire to expand screenings and workshops in Mexico, prisons, and schools. The episode ends with plans for future collaborations, subtitling the film, and mutual appreciation of yoga’s capacity to turn suffering into resilience.
