She was initially drawn to the language by the desire to chant which was inspired by her teacher Zoe Mai. She enjoys chanting from traditional texts such as the Bhagavad Gita and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali as well as the study of grammar and philosophy found within. As she dives deeper into her studies and practices ASI’s sanyama meditation, she is learning to engage the power of the language for use in self inquiry. The results of that effort have been transformative in her life and she hopes to inspire others to pursue Sanskrit and meditation as part of their yoga practice.
