Andrew Eppler has been practising Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga for over 3 decades. Andrew is the director of Ashtanga Yoga Studio and he is the producer and director of the Mysore Yoga Traditions film. Yoga has been a lifelong journey for Andrew.
He has grown up with the practice and witnessed its evolution into world culture first-hand. Andrew has spent many years studying the philosophy of the Nathamuni Sampradaya tradition that Sri Krishnamacharya belonged to. With the help and support of senior Sanskrit professors in Mysore Andrew has developed an approach to teaching physical postures that fits the modern paradigm.
While staying grounded in traditional ideas about philosophy and the sequences of Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga, Andrew believes that there is inevitable evolution in yoga practice and uses a “global fusion” of techniques. He is constantly researching different methods, comparing techniques from yoga communities around the world as he travels, and refining them to create the best approach possible in his own teaching.
Andrew sees yoga as an evolutionary process and strives to help each yoga student fall in love with the practice of yoga in a way that allows them to practice for their whole life and create their own evolving, healing practice that can be both a solitary practice and shared with other practitioners in a gracious, respectful way.
There will be 2 morning Mysore style sessions. Saturday and Sunday.
All levels are welcome.
