We are dedicated practitioners of Ashtanga Yoga with a profound love and respect for Mysore and its rich yoga heritage. Our mission is to preserve and document the centuries-old tradition of scholarship and yogic studies that thrives in this vibrant city. Through our ongoing documentary projects, we aim to capture and share the essence of Mysore’s unique yoga culture. Each year, we organize the Mysore Yoga Conference and the Melkote Yoga Immersion, as well as a series of insightful online courses. These events bring renowned Mysore scholars together with the international yoga community, offering unparalleled access to authentic teachings and profound wisdom.

Mysore Yoga Traditions Part II
Kings and Yogis Documentary Project
The fundamental goal of the Kings and Yogis documentary project is to authentically capture and preserve the rich cultural heritage and spiritual legacy of Mysore, India—the birthplace of modern yoga. By exploring the profound historical connections between Mysore’s royal lineage, spiritual traditions, and yoga scholarship, this film seeks to enlighten, inspire, and educate the global yoga community. Through in-depth interviews and exclusive access to key historical figures and locations, Kings and Yogis aims not only to document history but to actively contribute to its preservation, including supporting the creation of the Sri Krishnamacharya Yoga Museum. This project is dedicated to honoring Mysore's enduring influence on yoga practices worldwide.
Mysore Yoga Traditions Film
Mysore Yoga Traditions Film provides an insightful exploration of the 19th-century history of yoga in Mysore, India. Through the voices of elders, scholars, and spiritual leaders, the film uncovers how this vibrant yoga community shaped practices like Ashtanga Yoga and its derivatives, transforming them into global phenomena. Distinct from the broader historical narrative of the Kings and Yogis project, Mysore Yoga Traditions specifically illuminates the critical period of the 1800s, offering viewers a deeper understanding of the philosophies and traditions that continue to influence modern yoga worldwide.
