Awakening with Sanskrit: Introduction to the Sacred Language of Yoga

Sanskrit is not an old, dead classical language that only accomplished academics can decipher. Instead, it's a living technology of sacred sound for awakening higher states of consciousness, understanding the subtle laws of creation, and attaining advanced states of meditation leading to enlightenment. This ground-breaking book by Sanskrit scholar and yogini, Katy Poole, PhD, introduces you to the ancient language of yoga and its role in the development of human potential. You'll discover the secret relationship between sound and creation, validated by modern science. You'll learn about how the precise pronunciation of the Sanskrit alphabet cultivates the nervous system in preparation for profound meditation. And you'll gain insight into Sanskrit's role in the yoga traditions and why it's so important for yoga teachers and students to access this vital part of their practice.
