sanskrit I:the language of yoga

Language shapes the way we understand the world. Sanskrit, one of the oldest and most precise languages in human history, is the language through which yoga's deepest teachings have been transmitted for thousands of years. To begin learning Sanskrit is to begin reading the original map.
This introductory course with Dr. Asavari Manvikar offers an accessible and illuminating entry point into the Sanskrit language as it lives within yoga philosophy and practice. You will explore
the Sanskrit alphabet, known as Devanagari, foundational pronunciation, and the commonly used terms and concepts that form the basis of yogic study.
Whether you encounter Sanskrit in a sūtra, a mantra, or an asana name, this course will give you the tools to meet it with understanding rather than mystery. No prior knowledge of Sanskrit required. Come curious.
