A Day of Sanskrit, Chanting & Yoga Philosophy

The aim of this day-long course is to introduce us to the Sanskrit phonetic system, so that we can learn how to properly pronounce the sounds in its alphabet.

Then, in order to put these new found skills to good use, we will journey back through time into yoga philosophy and its scriptural heritage (The Upanishads, The Bhagavad Gītā, The Yoga Sūtras), and learn to chant some key verses found therein. Finally, our time together will be about discovering the deep relevance of yoga philosophy and its teachings, and how it applies to our lives today.

Yoga, as we all know, is so much more than a physical practice. When we explore it's history, what we find is a fascinating account of ancient seekers looking for the answers to the fundamental questions we ask ourselves.

Yoga's history is all about the adventure of seeking and finding, so that life can be lived in fullness of peace, health and knowledge.

Perfect for:

* Perfect for yoga teachers; new and experienced
