The Sanskrit weekend is a required module (10 hours) of UNION/YOGA Master Teacher Training. All serious students are welcome to attend.
Students will learn proper pronunciation of Sanskrit asana names, and pronunciation and chanting of Patanjali's sutras related to ishvarapranidhana, and the pranava (the sound of OM) . We will be practicing japa (chant) of one of the most ancient mantras, the Gayatri Mantra, the beautiful acknowledgement of Light, from the Rig Veda.
Cynthia Snodgrass has an undergraduate degree in Renaissance Music and a Master's degree in Musicology from Syracuse University, as well as a Master's of Divinity from Bexley Hall Episcopal Seminary. She has conducted extensive research into the world's spiritual traditions of sacred sound, which resulted in the founding of the Sacred Sound Institute and the writing of The Sonic Thread: Sound as a Pathway to Spirituality. She has studied Sanskrit extensively with Vyaas Houston of the American Sanskrit Institute, as well as at Harvard University, while being a Senior Instructor for American Sanskrit. She has also produced two CDs: Waters from the Son/Waters from the Moon: An Altar of Sound and Dream Chants.
