Sanskrit Workshop in Moretown
with Leslie Freyberg
Course description
Knowledge of Sanskrit makes it possible to grasp the subtleties of yoga, whose body of teachings are written in Sanskrit. Since ancient times the the study of Sanskrit has been an integral part of the system of yoga. This Sanskrit training will teach you how to approach the language of yoga as a yoga that’s enjoyable and inspiring.
The first step in learning Sanskrit is to develop an intimacy with its sounds; become familiar with their exact location, feeling their force and power, and the unique way they vibrate the palate, body and chakras. By the end of the fourteen hour weekend Sanskrit Immersion, students will be reading Sanskrit in its original alphabet, known as Devanagari.

Nadis & Cakras Workshop
with Ramanand Patel
- September 18-20, 2009
- Moretown Town Hall, Moretown, Vermont
Everything leads to mula bandha; the energy gained and contained in turn feeds everything else. When that energy is specifically directed towards nadies and cakras, it opens up the possibility of helping to achieve samadhi. When that experience is directed with correct intent by the mind, that mind sees the fallacy of the whole thought based and “I” centered knowledge. For a serious and sensitive looker that seeing can give rise to an insight which is not of the mind, is not time-based and has no “I” center. That insight is enlightenment, which belongs to the brain, not to the mind.

A Mala for the Guru
A Class in honor of
BKS Iyengar’s 90th birthday
Mad River Yoga will join in studios around the world participating in “A Mala for the Guru,” a fundraising class in honor of Guruji , B.K.S. Iyengar’s 90th Birthday.
The proceeds from Monday’s class went directly to the Bellur
Krishnamachar Trust (BKSSNT). This Trust was formed by Guruji with a
vision to serve his ancestral home in Bellur, India.
This will help not only the villagers but also the children of villages near by Bellur. The projects include building a yoga hall for children, construction of a 50,000 gallon water drinking water tank for the village, and a high school for girls, who generally discontinue education after 7th grade since there is no school nearby.
