Sanskrit
Perfectly refined, Sanskrit is the language of yoga. Anyone can resonate with Sanskrit's timeless sounds - and connect to words and ideas as profound as they are beautiful.
Rewards are many for those who take the time to see, hear and feel the power and elegance of classical Sanskrit. Yoga teachers and yoga teacher trainers particularly benefit from this study. As one teacher put it, her understanding of yoga shifted radically when she began her study of Sanskrit.
Jo Brill is certified to teach Sanskrit by the American Sanskrit Institute. She uses a teaching method developed over many years by Vyaas Houston to joyfully introduce you to this amazing language. Yes, it's FUN!
Instruction begins with the alphabet, itself a gorgeous chant and a dance through the palate. Then the search for understanding can begin, using the tools of grammar and inspired by the texts that you love - the Yoga Sutras, chants and invocations from the Upanishads, or the Bhagavad Gita.
