Intro - Words of Wisdom

This video course series explores the rich linguistic and cultural roots of yoga through Sanskrit vocabulary. Each episode focuses on a single Sanskrit word, unpacking its meaning, context, and significance within yoga practice and philosophy. As linguistic beings, we carry meaning through language, and by engaging with the native language of yoga, learners can access the subtle layers of thought, culture, and philosophy embedded in each term.
