UPCOMING WORKSHOPS
The American Sanskrit Institute's Sanskrit Trainings I & II
With Kathryn Payne from the Island Yoga Center on Vashon Island
2 Weekends in January & February 2008
Attending the first weekend will give you access the to the beautiful Devanagari script, the bija (seed) mantra sounds and one of the most remarkable learning systems you’ll ever experience. On Sunday afternoon you will be able to read a yoga sutra, basic vocabulary and chant the entire alphabet with clarity and accurate pronunciation.
The second weekend will reinforce all that you learned in the first weekend and allow you to read compound consonants, giving you full reading access to the Yoga Sutras and others texts in the original Sanskrit. In addition we will explore noun formation and chant a verse or two from the Bhagavad Gita. Also students will be given a method for translating the Yoga Sutras on their own, creating a a deep and personal form of self study (svadhyaya).

Refunds:
Full refund, less $25 by January 16, after January 16 full refund less $25 only if your place can be filled
Continuing study:
Your study can continue with other students who have finished this course by joining a study group that meets for three hours on Wednesday evenings once per month. There is no better way to come in direct contact with the ancient teachings than to meet with others in a supportive and light-filled atmosphere where we read, chant and translate sutras together. In addition you will have easy access to the vast library of courses offered by the American Sanskrit Institute, including the Sanskrit Atlas courses which provide a highly organized and in-depth study of the language. These courses are remarkable in that they expose you to the entire language in a user-friendly method, that, quite frankly, has been unavailable until now.
