The Language of the Gods: Practical Sanskrit for Yoga Teachers with Hari-Kirtana Das

Meaning “perfectly composed”, Sanskrit has always been regarded as the sacred language of yoga. In this 6-Hour immersive workshop we’ll learn proper Sanskrit pronunciation and how to recognize pronunciation cues, focus on word construction and meanings, particularly as they apply to names of yoga asanas and common philosophical concepts, and we’ll look at the difference between mantras such as the mystical phrases of the ancient Upanishads, sutras or codified transmissions such as those in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and slokas such as the poetic verses of the Bhagavad-gita. This workshop is part of the Buddha B Teacher Training program; only 10 spots are available for yogis who are not enrolled in the Buddha B TT program so reserve your space in advance. Please bring something vegan to share during the break.Cost is $60 pre-registered / $75 drop-in.

She teaches a strong vinyasa flow in the Jivamukti tradition. Her classes have been called meditative, calming, thoughtful, and uplifting. Tamar was born in Michigan, but grew up in Israel, with the dual cultural influences of an Israeli father and Scottish mother. She moved to NYC in 1997 and began to practice at Jivamukti Yoga School in 2001. Tamar was drawn to the creativity of the Jivamukti Yoga method and to the unequivocal association of animal rights with yoga practice. Her teachers have inspired her to teach yoga as a way to spread happiness and freedom to all. Monja Mani is a 800+ hour Jivamukti Yoga Teacher based in New York. She travels and teaches workshops in Europe and the US. Monja started her yoga practice in Germany in 2002 and feels blessed to this day to know and be part of the great yoga tradition.

Her teachings are guided by her sincere passion for yoga and a desire to share that experience with her students. Cost: $20/per student.

Meet Abby Dobbs Forrest Yoga teacher and massage therapist!

Abby's yoga journey began when she discovered the immense passion that was brought forth exploring Forrest Yoga with her teacher and mentor Ana Forrest. After completing her first 200hr teacher training through Forrest Yoga, she was given the opportunity to go further in another 200hr training with Natasha Rizopoulos of YogaWorks. Through a dynamic and mindful combination of poses in Abby’s classes, you will have fun, get sweaty, and most importantly, breathe deeply. Abby is so grateful for the opportunity to share her passion and delight of yoga to her students, both the physical asana, and the deeper philosophical, emotional, and spiritual aspects. Book a deep tissue massage with Abby on-line.

Go Vegan! The animals are ready.

Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu: May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words and actions of our own lives contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all. Shanti. Shanti. Shanti. PEACE.
