Deepen your understanding of the language of yoga—Samskrutam, or Sanskrit. Whether you are new to yoga or an experienced teacher, this workshop series is for you. We will discuss the relevance of Samskrutam for both yoga teachers and practitioners, as well as how to grow in your own practice and teaching. In the final part of this series, presenters Prashant and Manju Joshi expand on our previous discussion and knowledge of consonants. You’ll have an opportunity to see, hear, and practice the conjuct consonants, recitations, and related yogic vocabulary.
In this workshop, you will learn:
- The historic evolution of Samskrutam and why it is an integral part of yogic learning
- The rich vowels and consonants of Samskrutam
- Structure and correct pronunciation
Viewing the first two parts of the series is not necessary for attendance, but helpful. This workshop builds on materials covered in Part 2 of this series, and we encourage you to view that recording prior to joining this event.
