Smokin' Yogi Films is a Minneapolis-based Production Company dedicated to creating high-quality, unique, and forward-thinking film, literature, and communications. Balancing a love of art with a passion for supporting women in commerce, SMOKIN’ YOGI provides products that are as meaningful as they are entertaining.

Smokin' Yogi focuses on projects that offer the public an avenue to thoughtfully consider subjects that are prevalent everywhere, and yet remain taboo for many—e.g., divorce, mental illness, sexuality, money, etc.

Their newly published book, 'Relational Shifts, A Family Doesn't Have To End Just Because A Marriage Does,' details one such story—co-authored by Smokin' Yogi Visions founder, Julie Rappaport, along with her former husband of 17 years and their teenage daughter—the family's own personal story of their journey through divorce to the other side of their 'relational shift.' Relational Shifts is available in Twin Cities, Chicago and L.A. Borders locations and Amazon.com.

In addition, Smokin' Yogi is creating a webseries called Abnormally Normal that parallels and highlights many of the issues discussed in the book, Relational Shifts. The demo-pilot for Abnormally Normal, “Just Breathe, Part I, She Says...” has been awarded a Fiscal Sponsorship by IFP MN, as an Independent Feature Project. Abnormally Normal had its premiere screening at the Swansea Bay Film Festival, Wales, UK, June, 2007.

Smokin' Yogi values projects that develop unmentionable themes that offer the ability to create an open dialogue for discussion of difficult subjects. As such, Smokin' Yogi provides peer-to-peer social therapy as well as related links of interest to all through Ezine, where individuals can find important social, spiritual and emotional resources.

Smokin' Yogi is a fast growing company with unique and creative opportunities and financial longevity. For more information, please contact us at info@smokinyogi.com.
