Well, there are a fair number of avant garde films that ARE yogic/meditative/spiritual practices in form somehow without PHOTOGRAPHING such practices as they exist in the real world [or as we say in the biz (sic) "the pro filmic event"] Paul Sharits: Mandala Films Ernie Gehr: Serene Velocity* John and James Whitney (and others germane to The Center for Visual Music) Scott Bartlet: Off/On Anthony McCall Several shorts in The FluxFilm anthology, though 'Zen for Film' might not qualify depending on how you take it. 😉
In some cases the artists expressed some meditative/spiritual intent. In others, it kinds works out that way regardless. The cited above are just what comes to my mind at the moment. There are more for sure... If you were curating a program on your stated theme, you might mix these formal examples with representational ones in interesting ways an audience might appreciate.
