Patañjali's Yoga Sūtras: Philosophy and Chanting, Chapter 1
Sundays, 12:15 - 1:15 PM, January 24 - February 21
$108 entire workshop
$95 early registration, before Jan. 1
$25 single class
This 5-week course will concentrate on the first book of the Yoga Sūtras, the Samādhi Pāda, the chapter on profound meditation and unified consciousness. This chapter is the foundation of all yoga practice, providing a fundamental understanding of why we practice. We will begin each class by chanting the first chapter in the traditional method of śruti parampara, and move on to a discussion of the sūtras. We will investigate the meaning of yoga, as laid out in this text, and how it translates into our modern lives.
Introduction to Sanskrit for Yogis, Level 1
Sundays, 12:15 - 1:15 PM, March 7 - April 4
$108 entire workshop
$95 early registration, before Feb. 15
no drop-ins
In this 5-week course we will learn the Sanskrit alphabet, emphasizing proper pronunciation through chanting the fundamental sounds. We will begin to read familiar words and chants, particularly the ashtanga mantras we chant at the beginning and end of class and names of the āsanas (poses). The vibrational quality of the Sanskrit language and the ujjayi breath we do as we practice are directly related. Our speech/breath is the link that connects our bodies and minds. A deeper understanding will enrich your yoga practice both on and off the mat.
