Sanskrit: Simplified for
the Yoga Classroom

Part of our 2024 Fall Education Gathering - September 2024
Offered by Lead Trainer, Stacey

​

​Sanskrit is the language of yoga and might seem intimidating yet is actually beautiful in its simplicity. The goal of this workshop is to highlight how a very basic understanding and respect of this historic, ancient language can enhance the personal yoga experience and add another layer of interest to the yoga classroom. Learn a little about how languages influence each other, and how to decipher familiar yoga āsana (poses) from Sanskrit to English when found in yoga books or texts.  Gain a sense of ease while teaching a few poses while including their Sanskrit names as part of cueing practice. 
 

No linguistical talent is required of the participant or to be expected of the instructor.  This is a fun workshop to heighten comfort, awareness and appreciation.  Just bring along an open mind, a sense of adventure, plus an interest in exploring another facet of yoga's history,
