EXPLORING SANSKRIT AND THE YOGA OF SOUND

More than learning the language of yogic texts like the Yoga Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita, Sanskrit is an exploration of sound in the body. It is a path of perception into our very own embodiment, into the fabric of our tissues and the vibrational matrix of phenomenal existence itself.

Discover your voice, unlock your authentic self-expression, and experience the power and alignment of the Yoga of Sound.

​​

• No previous study required for this deep dive into the language most associated with yoga lead by Sanskritist and Scaravelli-inspired lead teacher Tiffany Thorne.

• Explore the experiential anatomy of vocalisation with assisting teacher Beverley Nolan

• Begin to form the shapes of Sanskrit phonemes to record the sounds of the human voice with written Sanskrit

• Learn to pronounce Sanskrit sounds with awareness of the loci of sound production

• Access and align the subtle body using sound including the bija mantras associated with the chakras

• Understand the embodied philosophy of yoga underlying the Sanskrit language and gain a cultural appreciation of the importance of sound and voice in the history of the language.​

TUTOR

TIFFANY THORNE

Sanskrit BA, MA-Phil (Cambridge) DipBWY

Tiffany has been working with Scaravelli-inspired practices for twenty years although her whole life seems to have been lived around yoga: born to an Iyengar yoga teacher and starting classes at twelve, she developed an early and unusual interest in yoga philosophy and studied it for twelve years at the University of Cambridge. With this grounding in Sanskrit that she continues to explore technically and creatively, she trained to become a Scaravelli-inspired yoga teacher.
