Learn the Sacred Language of Yoga from an Experienced Practitioner
Join Kiki Flynn for this comprehensive introduction to Sanskrit, the ancient language that forms the foundation of yoga philosophy and practice. With over 37 years of yoga experience and extensive study in India, Kiki brings authentic traditional teaching methods to modern students.
What You’ll Learn:
Part 1: Traditional Learning Methods
Discover the ancient Shruti Parampara tradition – learning through sound and call-and-response chanting, just as Sanskrit has been transmitted for thousands of years. Kiki explains how this natural method mirrors how children learn their mother tongue, making Sanskrit more accessible and meaningful than traditional book-based approaches.
Part 2: Devanagari Alphabet & Pronunciation
Master the fundamentals of Sanskrit pronunciation using the head as your “percussive instrument.” Learn proper placement of sounds, breathing techniques, and the transformational power of vibration that makes Sanskrit chanting a spiritual practice in itself.
Part 3: Yoga Sutras Study
Study a dozen carefully selected sutras from Patanjali’s first and second chapters, understanding both their pronunciation and profound meaning. Each sutra is taught using traditional call-and-response methods, allowing the wisdom to settle naturally into memory and understanding.
Traditional Approach:
Following authentic Indian teaching methods, you’ll first learn through sound and repetition before diving into written texts – the same way Sanskrit has been preserved for over 2,000 years. As Kiki explains: “We just have to relax and have faith that we will learn what it means” – allowing the natural learning process to unfold.
Perfect for:
Yoga practitioners, teachers, and anyone seeking authentic connection to yoga’s philosophical roots through its original language.
Course includes:
Audio practice sessions, pronunciation guides, and traditional chanting techniques passed down through generations of teachers and PDF material.
