    Must Know Sanskrit Concepts for Yoga Teachers

    Must Know Sanskrit Concepts for Yoga Teachers

    This is a conversation that you shouldn’t miss. Vikram Jeet Singh is back again. This time we dive deep into some essential concepts in Yoga that we should know as yoga teachers and students. 

    We break down  the common ones like Abhyasa Vairajya and delve deeper into some lesser known concepts like ksama. 

    There is sadhana, sraddha, raga, dvesa and more . This conversation will definately be something you will not only find enriching but  deeply relatable. 

    This isn’t a Sanskrit class. Or an academic way of living your yoga. It’s relatable and something you can use on a daily basis. 

    Head to our shownotes  to connect with Vikram and follow his work.

    Contextualizing Ahimsa and Making it Relatable in Yoga Classes

    In this episode, Arundhati dives deep into unpacking the living principle of ahimsa in yoga. 
    Many yoga teachers understand the principles of ahimsa. But can’t translate it into tangible steps for people who show up in their yoga classes wanting to learn poses. 
    In this episode, you’ll learn about what ahimsa really means even beyond yoga. 
    The Sanskrit breakdown of ahimsa. 
    What it means in yoga. And how its scope expands beyond Patanjali’s eight limbs of yoga. 
    How to break it down for your students on the mat? Why is that significant?
    How to take this “off your mat”? 
    How to measure if you’re able to live ahimsa? What are the human characteristics that change , develop or amplify? 
    Exploring all this and more in this episode.

    Yoga and the Spine with Kaya Mindlin

    Yoga and the Spine with Kaya Mindlin

    What do you think of when we talk about the spine in yoga? 
    Probably anatomy, the spine in Asana, posture, age of the spine, backbends and more. But mostly we end up staying in the physical , western view of the spine in yoga. 
    But according to yogis, the spine is so much more than just the physical spine. There is the Sukshma (subtle ) spine that is expansive, and part of the subtle body. Having vast implications on the journey of a seeker. 


    In this episode, we dive into the spine and yoga with Kaya Mindlin, who walks us through mythological stories from the puranas to helping us understand the subtle spine in ways that will be new to many of you but also takes you beyond just the physical spine. We look at the elements of the subtle spine, how to work with this spine and more. 


    For Kaya’s full bio, our bite sized bi-monthly newsletter and other episodes head to our show notes.
