About event
In this workshop we are pleased to welcome @Jamesboagyoga who has long studied Sanskṛt with traditional paṇḍits in India who place great emphasis on clear and correct pronunciation.
While the Sanskṛt lanaguage is an ocean and can be studied for lifetimes, we can learn to recite and pronounce it relatively quickly.
Saṁskṛta literally means ‘well made, well done, well constructed’. One way the language is so well structured is in terms of how it is pronounced, and there are clear guidelines that can help us access the tremendous harmonising power of accurate Sanskṛt recitation. Research corroborates what practitioners have known for millennia: Sanskṛt recitation activates both hemispheres of the brain and invites a meditative, integrated state of awareness. Singing and reciting in Sanskṛt can be tremendously cleansing, empowering and is a very important aspect of traditional yoga practice. In the Indic vision of existence, sound is all pervasive, so when we work with it directly, we can bring tremendous benefits to our whole being.
