Russian orthodox sacred sites of the Bryansk oblast

The history of Bryansk Oblast’s old cities is one of both military glory and bravery. These lands have witnessed many battles and its heroes played an important role in the formation of the Russian State. Despite the eventful life the Bryansk region has lived, many impressive examples of wooden architecture have been preserved. These cathedrals, monasteries and hundreds of other architectural monuments have withstood the test of time. In recent years dozens of monasteries and cathedrals have been restored. With this growing attention and care being directed toward these historic constructions, attention from religious pilgrims has also grown. Join RTG TV host Olga Degtyareva on her visit to some of the beautiful holy sites in Bryansk’s old cities.

Yoga as a way of life

Yoga is a key to health and spiritual well-being. It's a practice that enriches a person's internal, spiritual world. You don't need any special equipment or premises — just a minimum of space, some time, and the desire to give it a try. And, of course, an experienced teacher. Teachers of modern types of yoga are this film's focus. They once gave it a try out of curiosity. Now, however, yoga is their way of life, their job, and their beloved pass-time.
