Iyengar's reluctance to talk about himself and his life made the project more interesting because it opened up the possibilities of documenting the philosophy behind Ashtanga Vinyasa. Eventually the film crew had the opportunity to interview and film numerous scholars of Sanskrit and senior Ashtanga Vinyasa practitioners. The result is a portrait of Ashtanga Vinyasa and its philosophical background in the Mysore community that had yet to be captured on film. 

Key to the project was the support of Kanchen Mala, BNS Iyengar's assistant. This help made the first few contacts possible, as it helped to overcome the initial wariness of the US film crew and their intentions. There was concern that the sacred tradition would be commercialized and presented in a white-washed format to please the Western audience. Andrew reported that in retrospect there was in fact the need to have a good sense of intuition in order to maintain a respectful balance in how the interviews were conducted. 

After countless hours of post-editing, an impressive documentary has been created which sparks the interest of a wide audience, not just the engaged Ashtanga Vinyasa yogi. Alongside Andrew Eppler, the film was made a reality with the help of Dalloz Paz (videography), Bryce Delridge (sound), Joey Paz (sound) and Kelly O-Roke (still photography). Each of the members of the team are passionate Ashtangis with a longstanding asana practice and who have a great passion for this tradition and its philosophy. In this way, the project was realized with minimal external support and was completed thanks to the teams' wholehearted volunteer efforts: they offered countless hours of unpaid time working on completing the project, and donated from their own financial reserves for any necessary costs of production. 

And the motivation behind their efforts?  No more than to give an unbiased and unfiltered view of the world of Ashtanga yoga, its philosophy and its tradition. Or better yet, in the team's own words:
