The Studio

Not a trend.
A living tradition.

We opened this studio in 1999, when Ashtanga yoga was still unfamiliar in Oklahoma. What we've built since then isn't a brand — it's a community of people who take their practice seriously and want guidance that goes beyond the surface.

Our teaching draws from decades of study with the Sanskrit scholars of Mysore, the Nathamuni Sampradaya tradition, and the direct lineage of Sri Krishnamacharya. The physical practice is a doorway. We try to show people what's on the other side.

Our Approach

Precise teaching.
Real results.

We work with people at all levels — complete beginners who need a foundation, experienced practitioners who've hit a wall, and teachers who want to deepen their own understanding before they guide others.

Private sessions allow us to give your body and your practice the specific attention they need. No generic sequencing. No crowd-pleasing shortcuts. Just honest, careful work.

Documentary Film

Mysore Yoga Traditions — a film about where this practice comes from

Directed and produced by Andrew Eppler, this film documents the living scholarly tradition of Mysore — senior Sanskrit scholars, spiritual leaders, and lifelong practitioners speaking frankly about what yoga actually is and where it comes from.

Not a promotional film. Not a how-to. An honest document of a tradition that most Western yoga culture has never encountered.
