Must Know Sanskrit Concepts for Yoga Tea...

Arundhati Baitmangalkar
About this episode

This is a conversation that you shouldn’t miss. Vikram Jeet Singh is back again. This time we dive deep into some essential concepts in Yoga that we should know as yoga teachers and students. 

We break down  the common ones like Abhyasa Vairajya and delve deeper into some lesser known concepts like ksama. 

There is sadhana, sraddha, raga, dvesa and more . This conversation will definately be something you will not only find enriching but  deeply relatable. 

This isn’t a Sanskrit class. Or an academic way of living your yoga. It’s relatable and something you can use on a daily basis. 

Head to our shownotes  to connect with Vikram and follow his work.
