Mysore Yoga Traditions Part II
Kings and Yogis Documentary Project
Mysore is the birthplace of modern yoga — and that history runs straight through the Wodeyar court and the Mandayam Śrīvaiṣṇava community it patronized. For centuries, Mysore's kings supported the ācāryas, temples, and Sanskrit colleges that preserved India's yogic and Vedāntic traditions. From this soil came Sri Krishnamacharya, whose students went on to teach much of the world.
Kings and Yogis is the second film in the Mysore Yoga Traditions project. Through interviews with scholars and lineage holders — including those who carry the living Ācārya Puruṣa Paramparā today — we're documenting this history while it remains in living memory. Proceeds support the creation of the Sri Krishnamacharya Yoga Museum in Mysore.
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.
