SUMMARY:Sanskrit 101
DESCRIPTION:What does the word hatha really mean? How do you actually pronounce sauca or urdhva mukha svanasana? What do we actually mean when we say “take a vinyasa”? The ancient Indian language of our beloved yoga practice is poetic and rich. But when when we practice yoga–or teach it–we aren’t always pronouncing the sounds correctly or even understanding what we’re saying. To fully honor the tradition of yoga\, it’s important to know the basics of Sanskrit. If you’re a yoga teacher\, or a serious student\, this is a workshop you definitely want to attend! \nIn this weekend course\, you will: \n-Gain background knowledge on the language of Sanskrit \n-Learn the proper pronunciation of each letter \n-Learn how to properly pronounce common yoga words (including the names of the postures and popular mantras) \n-Come away feeling more confident to use Sanskrit in conversation and in your classes \nWe’ll take breaks from study to practice asana and chanting\, creating a well-balanced meal of learning and embodiment! \nThis workshop is led by Folk SF teacher Rosa Lynley (RYT 500)\, who has 12 years of study in the lineage of Advaita Vedanta and Sanskrit. This workshop is primarily for teachers\, but is open to all dedicated practitioners. It will include lecture\, language practice\, chanting\, and asana. \nSchedule: \nSaturday\, March 21st\, 2026 | 1:00 – 5:00pm \nSunday\, March 22nd\, 2026 | 1:00 – 5:00pm \n*In person at Folk NOPA Studio* \nPrice: \n$220 per person on or before March 7\, 2026 with the discount code: SANSKRIT101 \n$275 per person after March 7\, 2026 \nFolk Members and Alumni receive 25% off of the full price. \nThis course provides 8 Elective Contact Hours for Folk’s 300 Hour Program [8 Yoga Alliance® CEUs].

DESCRIPTION:In this free event with Marisa Toriggino\, you will explore the fascinating concepts of the five elements – earth\, water\, fire\, air\, and ether – as well as the three fundamental energies or doshas known as Vāta\, Pitta\, and Kapha\, and their crucial role in Ayurvedic Medicine. Each individual possesses a unique blend of these doshas\, forming their distinct “constitution.” When we understand our innate nature we have a better opportunity to organize our diet\, routines\, self-care practices\, and work in a way that restores balance in our lives.\n\nDuring this talk\, you will delve into the significance of maintaining dosha balance through mindful choices in diet\, lifestyle\, herbs\, and daily routines. As a special feature\, every participant will receive an Ayurveda Physical Assessment to determine their predominant dosha. To enhance the Ayurveda experience\, refreshments inspired by Ayurvedic principles will be served. We can’t wait to see you there!\n\n Class is free at the NOPA studio\, but reserving your spot is required.
