Deepen your understanding of the language of yoga—Samskrutam, or Sanskrit. In the first part of this series, presenters Prashant and Manju Joshi reviewed the basics of Sanskrit. In part two, they bring our focus to the consonants. 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.
During this session, attendees will:
- Have an opportunity to see, hear, and practice the consonants of Samskrutam
- Learn corresponding chakras
- Build upon their current yogic vocabulary
Viewing Part 1 isn’t necessary for attendance, but helpful. Yoga Alliance members can watch the recording here.
