Intro to Sanskrit for yogis, 3 weekly sessions, March 2,9,16

I am pleased to announce a short 3-session workshop wherein you will be introduced to the basics of the ancient Sanskrit language. The program is specifically tailored for its use in yoga practice. As you may be aware, all ancient texts related to the field of yoga – Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Samkhya system of philosophy, the Bhagavad Gita and many others – were all written in Sanskrit. A basic knowledge of Sanskrit can help us understand these texts at a deeper level and enrich our life in general and yoga experience in particular.
