Deepen your understanding of the language of yoga—Samskrutam, or Sanskrit. In the first part of this series, presenters Prashant and Manju Joshi reviewed the basics of Sanskrit. In part two, they bring our focus to the consonants. Whether you are new to yoga or an experienced teacher, this workshop series is for you. We will discuss the relevance of Samskrutam for both yoga teachers and practitioners, as well as how to grow in your own practice and teaching.

During this session, attendees will:

· Have an opportunity to see, hear, and practice the consonants of Samskrutam
· Learn corresponding chakras
· Build upon their current yogic vocabulary

Viewing Part 1 isn't necessary for attendance, but helpful. Yoga Alliance members can watch the recording here.

Lean into the wisdom from The Bhagavad Gita to implement emotional, physical and cognitive self-regulation tools to improve your daily life, both as a teacher and student. Part 1 explored creating a healthy foundation of non-attachment; in Part 2, we had an engaging conversation about the Law of Action.

During the final session of this series, we tie together those lessons with the Power of Surrender. What does it mean to surrender, and how can it benefit you? We will explore how you can successfully apply these life skills in your daily life, during your yoga practice, and as a teacher.

In this workshop, you'll learn:

· The meaning of surrender and how to embrace the power in it
· How to introduce surrender successfully as a yoga teacher plus how to connect it with poses and meditation
· Why you don't need to be a scholar to teach yoga philosophy
