We believe that Yoga practice should begin at the Source. And since Sanskrit is at the source of Yoga, we feel no Yoga teacher or committed student should be without access to the sacred language of Yoga.

“Shruti Institute for Vedic Arts provides an easy-to follow, but in-depth and sacred orientation to Sanskrit that is useful and practical for Yoga students and teachers... I so appreciate how you present Sanskrit in a sacred manner that gives a novice confidence and inspiration to begin the path…This is a jewel in the lotus of educational material recommended to all.”

~ Shiva Rea, M.A., (master yoga teacher, dancer, and author) www.ShivaRea.com

For centuries, learning to chant Sanskrit and feel its primordial sounds have been at the basis of the Vedic, Yoga, and Tantra traditions. That’s because of Sanskrit’s power to tone and strengthen the subtle nervous system, making the body, mind and spirit fit for the higher stages of Yoga.

Until now, there were few opportunities for Yogis to learn the Sanskrit language in a way that benefits their practice. University classes often treat Sanskrit as a dead, classical language rather than a tool for Yoga. And for most Yogis, it’s impractical and difficult to seek out a traditional Sanskrit teacher in India for tutoring.

“I have gone through the materials, and want to say that I applaud your skill in presenting Sanskrit in a way that is both easy to work with and full of the rasa of traditional Sanskrit study…It is a simple, profound, and user-friendly approach to Sanskrit, beautifully crafted for the needs of yoga students and teachers. It should prove of great value to anyone who wants to experience more deeply the power of mantra, chant, and to investigate for themselves the sacred science encoded in this language…I will definitely recommend this to my students.”

"I loved learning the art of healing mind and heart with sacred sound.  I especially notice how vibrations and tones can affect the way we feel, and how learning Sanskrit is more about cultivating deep inner feeling, rather than learning another language. I now feel my body tingle when I say the Sanskrit sounds correctly. You are a great teacher. You gave me such a vaster understanding of not only Sanskrit, but also myself.”
