Event Details
Sanskrit is Yoga in linguistic form. Incorporating Sanskrit into one’s Yoga practice as well as teaching can enrich and lend authenticity to one’s experience of Yoga. Sanskrit is not an external language but rather a language of internal vibrations and is described as the Language of Gods. Sanskrit chanting and Mantras can help create meditative state of mind and elevate one’s consciousness to higher levels. In this series of workshops, we study the relationship between Sanskrit and Yoga, learn the sacred vibrations of Sanskrit and study their internal correspondences as well as explore their energetic aspects. We will also learn the authentic pronunciation of the Sanskrit names of around 50 popular Yoga postures.
