Ok I don't get it now what is all this supposed to do to the human body and or soul?

These are asanas. Asanas are used with pranayamas(breathing techniches) and other yoga practices to balance mind and body. They are practiced to improve the body's physical health and clear the mind in preparation for meditation in the pursuit of enlightenment.

Beside, the udhyana banda practice (including the way he gets in Padmasana) is awesome. I know very few practionners working anywhere near that level. If you can't see that, you probably shouldn't be posting comments on it.

tigerboy1966 - Then why does Krishnamacharya look so young in the film? If it was mid-90s, he would look a lot more ...dead...

This is an extract from an original 1938 film (there's also some footage of Iyengar in it, looking quite young)
