Mysore Yoga Traditions Podcast

The physical practice of Yoga separated from its traditional philosophical underpinnings brings only an incomplete picture of the intricate Cosmic System that is Ashtanga Yoga. This podcast, Andrew and its other contributors are the real deal and have worked tirelessly to preserve and carry these ancient threads of optimal, multidimensional well-being to the public. A true gift to the world, Hari Om.

I love the authentic vibe of this show. Hearing from Indian Masters is really inspiring ❤️🕉️

In the past few years Andrew Eppler has been done important work in documenting the history of Ashtanga Yoga as it was developed in lMysore, India. Since then he has turned to exploring Sri Vaishnavism, the philosophical/religious sect to which Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, the founder of Ashtanga Yoga, belonged, along with other branches of the Indian Vedantic tradition. His sources are Sri Vaishnavite leaders and prominent Sanskrit scholars, many of whom are traditionally-trained — the so-called “pandits”. To listen to their exegesis of a sacred text is to be opened to an ancient, highly-articulated and still-evolving network of word-views, and to be further opened to encounter with the mystery of the Divine, in Whom we live, move, and have our being.
