Simplified Sanskrit

This workshop is for yoga teachers who are reluctant to use Sanskrit in their classes and workshops because they’re afraid that they will get tongue-tied as they mispronounce the words and don’t have a firm grasp on their meanings. We’ll focus on how to recognize pronunciation cues in transliterated Sanskrit (Sanskrit written in the Roman alphabet) how to pronounce words that yoga teachers are most likely to use, and how yogic concepts are illuminated by the Sanskrit words associated with them. Participants will gain the ability to use basic Sanskrit terms for asana poses, yogic concepts, and philosophical ideas with clarity and confidence.
