PERFECTLY REFINED, Sanskrit is the language of yoga. Anyone can resonate with Sanskrit's timeless sounds—and connect to words and ideas incredibly beautiful and profound.
REWARDS ARE MANY for those who take the time to see, hear, and feel the power and elegance of Sanskrit. Those interested in yoga philosophy particularly benefit from this study.
This weekend workshop will give you intimate familiarity with the unique points of resonance in your own palate that support Sanskrit’s sacred sounds. And you’ll be firmly grounded in the proper pronunciation of this ancient language.
Along the way you’ll learn the alphabet—itself a lovely chant—and you’ll receive the tools you need to explore your favorite sutras and chants in the beautiful script of Sanskrit; Devanāgarī.
The teaching method of this class was developed over many years by Vyaas Houston of the American Sanskrit Institute, which makes learning Sanskrit stress-free and FUN!
November 16th 12-6pm & November 17th 12-4pm
Investment: $300/weekend or $500/levels 1 & 2
