Introduction to Sanskrit & Mantra
This workshop will begin with the history and evolution of the Sanskrit language. We will delve into the fascinating world of Sanskrit literature, from the ancient Vedas, through to the profound Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali and the illustrious Sanskrit Epics. We will navigate together the simultaneous simplicity and complexity of Sanskrit grammar (vyākaraṇa) and how understanding it can shift our experience of the world.
In the second half of the workshop, we will focus on mantra: discerning the essence of mantra, taking examples of different types of mantras and looking at how they can be incorporated into your yoga practice and daily life. You will learn to chant some mantras in the session, along with their correct pronunciation, meaning, and philosophical significance.
Join us for this invaluable insight into the world of Sanskrit, the language which much of yoga practice and philosophy is grounded in.
