Private Classes

We are happy to start at any point, depending on your background. For students who are absolute beginners we will make sure that you are well-grounded in proper Sanskrit alphabet pronunciation, understanding the English with diacritical marks, and the writing of the Devanāgarī. From there, we can work together to tailor the class in whichever direction your interests lie, whether it be Ayurveda, Yoga, Grammar, Bhagavad Gita, mantra, shloka, etc.

Group Sanskrit Module Training

Module Training

After decades of teaching Sanskrit, and after experimenting with using different formats and different texts, we are now rolling out a new approach to teaching. We are designing a curriculum that can be learned by people who can only meet for an hour and a half a week. We provide all the learning materials. We are targeting our program for students who can commit to classes in 6 or 8 week blocks.

The first module is also structured to work well in a weekend retreat setting. Our aim is to make texts on Yoga-Vedanta philosophy, devotional verses and simple short stories understandable as fast as possible. As part of the path, students will begin composing in Sanskrit as well, with simple conversational sentences. Every class will include a few minutes of meditation so we can feel the energy that comes with the Sanskrit chanting. Our goal is to have the module training be a doorway to teacher certification.
