At last, the mystery of how to pronounce Sanskrit terms properly has

been revealed. Have you been looking for an English / Sanskrit cross

reference? Are the exact pronunciations of Sanskrit terms still a

mystery? Would you like to learn a lot more about Sanskrit as it

pertains to Yoga?

 

You don't have to search anymore. "The Language of Yoga" is an

interactive book and double CD set written by Nicolai Bachman. This

interactive "course" includes more than 200 asanas with illustrated

yoga postures and 300 Sanskrit definitions.

 

In between teaching Yoga classes and writing, I have some time to

read, and I was happy that I took the time to read Nicolai Bachman's

139 page cross reference book for converting Sanskrit terms to

English.

 

 

The two CD's that accompany the book make this work "come to life."

The first CD covers chants for Yoga practice, Yoga Sutras, and Yoga

terms. The second CD covers Ashtanga sequences, names of asanas, and

much more. In the course of studying this interactive book, you will

learn the basic guidelines of pronunciation for many more words.

 

The author, Nicolai Bachman, guides you through correct

pronunciations with the exact rhythm and tone. This book is a

masterpiece and a priceless reference tool for any serious student,

or teacher, of Yoga. For Yoga book collectors, this book will be

remembered with your personal favorites.

 

At this time, there is no other book on the market that provides

this much in-depth study of the Sanskrit Yoga words and cross

references it with English. Words are grouped together by subject,

such as numbers, Chakras, Bandhas, Mudras, Yamas, and Niyamas. Many

of the words that you might hear in the average Yoga class are no

longer a mystery to pronounce for English speaking Yoga students.

 

Nicolai Bachman, has been a teacher of Sanskrit, and

related subjects, since 1994. He has studied extensively at the

VagYoga Institute in Varanasi, India, the American Sanskrit

Institute, the American Institute of Vedic Studies, the Vedic Chant

Center, the Ayurvedic Institute, and received his M.A. in Eastern

Philosophy from St. John's College.

 

Nicolai is a 500-hour level Registered Yoga Teacher. He teaches

Sanskrit, Ayurveda, and Yoga Philosophy; Nicolai currently teaches

in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

 

This book will be released later this month, at which time we will

have them in supply. Don't stay in the dark about speaking Sanskrit,

especially if you are teaching Yoga classes. Now, you can be

confident that your pronunciation is correct.

 

I enjoyed the book so much that I ordered a shipment for our staff,

on-site interns, and Yoga teachers, we network with worldwide. If

you are interested in getting a copy, feel free to contact Aura

Wellness Center.
