Workshop:

Gently Adding Sanskrit

Grace & ease through simplicity

Sanskrit (Saṃskṛta) is the language of yoga. It might look intimidating at first glance,
yet it is surprisingly approachable—especially when we discover how learning
just a little can add so much to the yoga experience.

​

This in-person workshop offers a light, respectful introduction to this ancient and influential language. Together, we'll explore how a basic understanding of Sanskrit pose names enriches our personal practice and creates a more connected experience for who share our classrooms with us. ​​ Discover an easy way to 'decode' common Sanskrit pose names (āsanas) that appear in books, and on-line, and spend time practice teaching learning to feel at ease connecting Sanskrit and tradition gently into the modern yoga classroom.

Spoiler alert: if you already say Śavāsana (shuh-VAH-suh-nuh) when inviting participants into relaxation, you are already teaching in Sanskrit! 

​​

No linguistical talent required. Just bring an open mind, a sense of adventure and your yoga mat. ​​
