Andrew Eppler and Santiago Pinto share their passion for a project they are very excited about! We are in the early stages of what we feel will be an extremely beautiful addition to our efforts to learn about and preserve the Yoga legacy of Mysore.

We will tell the history of modern yoga through the hearts and minds of Mysore’s Royal Family and Sanskrit community, including its foremost scholars, philosophers, and asana teachers. While our initial documentary, *Mysore Yoga Traditions*, dealt primarily with 19th-century yoga history, *Kings and Yogis* explores the thousand years before that and provides the international yoga community a glimpse of the rich and beautiful yoga tradition, or parampara, from which at least half of all modern postural yoga practices have originated.

Join us in exploring the roots of modern yoga and the timeless wisdom of Mysore, India! Together, let's shine a light on the cultural treasures of the yoga tradition of Mysore, which has directly influenced at least half of all asana practices in the world today, touching millions of lives through Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Viniyoga, and countless derivative forms of yoga.
