Sanskrit Courses

– The Sacred Language of Yoga

Sanskrit is more than just an ancient language. It is a technology for awakening body, mind, and spirit to a higher state of consciousness by opening the voice with sacred sound.

The reason why Sanskrit has always been a part of the Yoga traditions has to do with its unique structure. The 50 distinct sounds of Sanskrit’s alphabet open pathways within the central nervous system. When our subtle channels are opened we directly experience union or Yoga through the physiological affects of pure sound.

INTRODUCTORY COURSES IN SANSKRIT

“Having entered the world of Yoga and chanting, one soon becomes aware of the value and advantage of some knowledge of the Sanskrit language. It is the master key to the secrets of India’s vast well of wisdom…Katyayani has created an innovative, user-friendly, up-to-date method that includes the accessibility of on-line and phone support. In Katyayani we find the rare phenomenon of a delightful Sanskrit scholar and Yogini with impeccable credentials, integrity, and willingness to pass on that which has become her life’s passion. Catch it while you can.”

~ Divya Prabha, Master Yoga Teacher and Kirtan Diva

ADVANCED COURSES IN SANSKRIT

What distinguishes Yoga from all other forms of exercise and self-development, is that the more you practice the more you want to explore its vast depth.  This is why Yoga has survived for over 5,000 years.  It’s a positive addiction. Yet for those Yoga teachers and serious practitioners who are longing for a fun and profound advanced study of the teachings and traditions behind the modern expression of Yoga, the options are few.

Where can you go to advance your Yoga teaching skills by deepening your knowledge and experience of the sacred traditions at the source of Yoga? For this reason, Dr. Poole created a special course of study, “The Sanskrit & Yoga Mastery™ Program,” to provide Yoga teachers and serious students access to the great depth of knowledge and experience behind Yoga.

“What a wonderful workshop! Before taking Dr. Katyayani’s Awakening with Sanskrit and Vedic Chanting workshop, I didn't fully understand the value of sacred sound, much less the importance of proper pronunciation and tone in the Sanskrit language. After hearing how beautiful and meaningful this language is, I look forward to spending more time with Dr. Katyayani to learn how to properly use Sanskrit in my classes.”

~ Lori, Yoga Teacher in Training, Lahiri School of Yoga
