  • New Yoga Now 3131a Bull Street Savannah, GA, 31405 United States (map)

Ever wondered what your teacher is saying in Sanskrit? Would you like to pronounce Sanskrit confidently? Do you know the multiple translations of "asana"? Language reveals culture. This workshop demystifies pronunciations, spellings, definitions, and deep meanings of terms that you hear, say, read, and sing. You will learn fascinating things about the power of sound-as-vibration by exploring the language of yoga. Enhance your practice (and, if applicable, professionalize your teaching!) 

For new students to lead instructors, this workshop is enlightening for all levels of experience.  We are delighted to welcome Marcy back to NYN- this time Live Streaming through Zoom!
