This is a city full of contrast. In Mysore, a modern Indian city with approximately 900,000 inhabitants, the millennia-old tradition of yoga is still alive today. Magnificent temples and colorful statues share an urban landscape with a bustling economy thanks to the strong presence of the IT sector. How was it possible to establish a community in an environment where the traditional values of Ashtanga yoga have been practiced for generations? Furthermore, what does the community look like today and who are its central representatives? 

These are precisely the questions that Andrew Eppler and his team have sought to answer in their film. The fruits of their labor, a documentary film titled "Mysore Yoga Traditions" presents us with a unique, behind-the-scenes look at Ashtanga yoga, while at the same time shedding light on the worldview and social background of the yoga community in Mysore. There are captivating interviews with high-ranking government officials, philosophy scholars from the renowned Sanskrit College and even with the Queen of Mysore: each conveying vivid and fascinating  insight on how the tradition of yoga has spread across the globe.
