"Sanskrit Revolution" Immersion with Marcy Baverman PhD, Professor of Religious Studies at UNCC June 22 - June 23, 2013 Charlotte, NC
Sankskrit Revolution with Dr. Marcy Braverman Goldstein Can you name the Top 10 Most Frequently Mispronounced Asanas? Have you ever wondered what your yoga teacher is saying in Sanskrit? Did you notice that people say 'cakra' (energy center) differently, and do you know how it should be pronounced? Would you like to say the Sanskrit names of the asanas accurately? Have you ever thought that the sound of the word 'santi' resonates with its meaning? Do you know the meaning and correct pronunciation of your favorite chants, Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, the Bhagavadgita, and more? This 7.5 hour Teacher Training Immersion: Sanskrit Revolution will demystify the pronunciations, spellings, and definitions of terms that you hear, say, read, and sing. You will learn the sounds of the letters in the syllabary (technically not an ‘alphabet’) and embody your new skills in Sanskrit-based asana practice. Understanding the basics of the linguistic foundation of yoga will deepen your practice and/or enhance your teaching in wonderful ways! Marcy Braverman Goldstein, Ph.D. teaches at UNC Charlotte and yoga studios and conferences nationally. Drawing from her training at University of California at Santa Barbara, tutorials with Dr. B.N. Pandit in India, and 15 years of practicing yoga, she teaches inspiring Sanskrit workshops that are as playful as they are profound. www.sanskritrevolution.com This workshop will be held on 5 Mondays January 28 - February 25 including a Sanskrit-based asana practice co-led by Melanie Snyder and Marcy Baverman. Price includes workshop study materials.
