SANSKRIT & YOGA PHILOSOPHY STUDY GROUP with Kathryn Payne

Time: 6:00 – 8:00 Pm
Fee: $55 for both or $30 for a single two-hour class

In each class we will study by reading and chanting from source yoga texts. During these two summer sessions we will focus on the Patanjali sutras and mantra – maybe an Upanishad verse. Regardless of the material we will broaden vocabulary and deepen our understanding of the yoga through the power of its language – Sanskrit.

The course will continue to meet approximately once per month on Tuesdays evenings in the Fall. Dates TBA in a late Summer email.

To register, please send me an email at kp@islandyogacenter.com  to let me know you are coming and snail mail fee (check) to Kathryn Payne, 12601 Cunliffe Rd, Vashon, 98070. Please register by July 1st to ensure course enrollment.



Vedic Chanting with Virginia Wise
Together we will explore simple mantras and longer chants from the Vedas of ancient India. Students will be encouraged and supported to develop Vedic chant as part of their personal practice. The classes will be personalized to meet the specific needs and desires of those attending. (Input will be requested from those who register.) New and experienced chanters are welcome.

Virginia Wise has studied Vedic chant with Sonia Nelson, longtime student of TKV Desikachar, for more than 10 years and yoga with her and other teachers for more than 30 years. Vedic chant has been an important addition to her personal practice, a source of strength and stability through challenging times. She wants to offer others the opportunity to discover its gifts for themselves.

"To share Vedic chant is to share the experience of silence through listening, a process of healing and a link with nature, the deeper self and the divine." -TKV Desikachar
