A practice that remembers
where it came from.
Andrew Eppler · Norman, Oklahoma. Forty years of practice. Private Ashtanga, traditional Thai bodywork, and the 200hr Ashtanga program, taught online, in Oklahoma, and in Mysore, India.
There is a kind of attention
that only develops with time.
Forty years on the mat. Twenty-six years in this room. Some of the people who first walked in as students now bring their own children.
The teaching has not changed much. The practice has not changed at all. What grows is the attention, and the slowness with which a person learns to listen to a body that has been quietly speaking the whole time.
The work here is rooted in Mysore, in the Sanskrit community that formed Śrī Kṛṣṇamācārya, and in the method of Śrī B. N. S. Iyengar, with whom Andrew studied for many years. We do not approach that tradition as outsiders, and we do not market it. We practice within it, slowly, and we share what we are given.
Three ways
to begin.
Private Ashtanga
Self-paced, breath-led practice taught the way it is taught in Mysore. One student at a time. The teacher learns your body. Your body learns the practice. Haṭha and yoga therapy by request.

Traditional Thai
Thirty years of study in Thailand and elsewhere, in service of one purpose: a thorough, careful, deeply restorative session of traditional Thai bodywork. By appointment, in the studio.

200hr Ashtanga Program
A serious program for serious students, run by Andrew for more than fifteen years. Available online, in person in Oklahoma, and as a four-week immersion in Mysore and Melkote, India.

Prakṛti and Puruṣa.
Photography is nothing other than the study of how light strikes matter: prakṛti and puruṣa. It is not difficult to see the joy of photography and video for a yogi.
Two documentaries from Mysore.
Mysore Yoga Traditions
The first film. What the world has come to call Ashtanga, told from inside the Mysore culture that gave rise to it. Elders, scholars, and lineage holders, in their own voices.
Watch the film →
Kings and Yogis
The second film, in production. The Wadiyar court and the Mandayam Śrīvaiṣṇava community whose ācāryas preserved India's yogic and Vedāntic traditions. Ten percent of proceeds supports the creation of the Śrī Kṛṣṇamācārya Yoga Museum.

Three paths. One tradition.
The 200hr Ashtanga program has been running for more than fifteen years. It is the work that has brought the studio's daily teaching together with the Sanskrit scholars of Mysore, the same lineage that formed Śrī Kṛṣṇamācārya.
In every form, the curriculum includes Aṣṭāṅga āsana with Andrew's adjustment work, prāṇāyāma, mudrā, Sanskrit chanting, and the Yoga Sūtras and Bhagavad Gītā with senior scholars in Mysore. Dr. M. A. Alwar (Ācārya, Nāthamuni Sampradāya) and Dr. H. V. Nagaraj Rao.
Self-paced, anywhere
The full curriculum, available worldwide. Live sessions, recorded lectures, and ongoing dialogue with Andrew.
