Upon completing this 3-hour workshop, participants will have a good overview of the structure and proper pronunciation of Sanskrit using English transliteration. In addition, they will know exactly what all those dots and slashes above and below the letters mean when Sanskrit is transliterated, and will have more confidence about pronouncing Sanskrit words properly.

However, this workshop is not just about the mechanics of the language. We will also go into the origins and esoteric side of Sanskrit and explain why Sanskrit is so powerful, why it is the language of Yoga and Kirtan, why it is used for mantras, asanas, and how the language connects all of us to the universe at large - the macrocosm contained within the microcosm etc.
