“ I feel fortunate to have taken Dr. Katyayani Poole’s Sanskrit for Yogi
course. Her teaching takes you back to the ancient land of the Vedas, and you can feel those primordial vibrations resonating in your nervous system and along your spinal column as you learn. Because of this, you’ll be chanting the Vedas beautifully in no time and experiencing the deep spirit at the source of Yoga’s tradition.”
~ Francesca (chiropractor, Yoga teacher, and philanthropist)
“I have been studying “Sanskrit for Yogis” for 3 months and the program has deepened my understanding of the roots and foundation of the Yoga I teach. It’s amazing how the Sanskrit words express in sound the movements of the poses…. I downloaded the CDs into my itunes, and then have them randomly come up in my music play. So while I am working, listening to my favorite tunes, Dr. Katyayani will come on sounding the Sanskrit alphabet, and – you know – it is so musical it fits right in, and the Sanskrit is seeping into the fabric of my life. So now, when I pronounce the poses in Yoga class, the texture and shape of the sound supports the unfolding of the pose. I love this Nada Yoga, and thank Dr. Katyayani for the long and devoted work to produce this teaching.”
~ Elin Todd, Yoga Teacher, Boulder, CO
"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.”
~ Judson Frost, Director, Mandala Yoga Center, Boulder, CO
“The materials are beautifully and professionally presented and you have delivered a tool which is useful for all types of learners, whether you study best on your own, with assistance, through listening or through sight and touch. You have all the bases covered. I love that you have the interactive web site with the ability to communicate not only with you, but with others who are participating in learning through your materials and classes as well. I live in a very remote location and therefore access to classes such as these on an "in person" level are extremely limited. You have succeeded in making it accessible for me to learn Sanskrit in a supported environment. I absolutely appreciate this.”
~ Carin Cundey, Yoga Teacher, Bend, OR
“I felt very fortunate to be able to listen and download the telephone
classes as well as the wonderful PDF class guides. What I have learned just from the audio and tele-classes has been very valuable both in my teaching and continual learning of Yoga and all that it encompasses. Your presentations and material help me to
strive to learn more and continue my education of all that is connected to
Yoga. I thank you for your patience and giving your time to this material
and presenting it in a very digestible format.”
