Synopsis This text-and-audio compendium of Sanskrit words (yoga postures, philosphical terms, and chants) is a beautiful addition to any yoga or language bookshelf. The volume is thoughtfully packaged as small, wirebound pages between two weighty covers, so it lays flat, allowing readers to consult the book and try the accompanying yoga postures. The postures and chants are geared towards an Ashtanga practice, but since most yoga asanas are universal, practitioners of any lineage and style can benefit.
The two CDs contain all the Sanksrit terms repeated twice, clearly, in Sanskrit, with their English translations directly following, so the audio portion of the program can be used independently from the text.
