  • You have an interest in yoga philosophy and want to deeply explore one of the source texts with an experienced teacher.
  • You are interested in learning traditional chanting of the Sanskrit language and refining your pronunciation.
  • You are able to commit to the full session (with the option to take the class via the recording if you need to occasionally miss a live session).
