Yoga Vocabulary & Sanskrit For Beginners
10-week Online Course with Hari Śakti & Hare Kṛṣṇa Dās

This course is designed to make Sanskrit approachable. Together with Hari Śakti and Hare Kṛṣṇa Dās – a lifelong practitioner, monk of two decades and a teacher of bhakti and Vedic wisdom – you will be guided step by step into the language of yoga and sacred sound.
