A "Must Have" Yoga Book
Paul M. Jerard Jr.
At last, the mystery of how to pronounce Sanskrit terms properly
has been revealed. Have you been looking for an English /
Sanskrit cross reference? Are the exact pronunciations of
Sanskrit terms still a mystery? Would you like to learn a lot
more about Sanskrit as it pertains to Yoga?
You don't have to search anymore. "The Language of Yoga" is an
interactive book and double CD set written by Nicolai Bachman.
This interactive "course" includes more than 200 asanas with
illustrated yoga postures and 300 Sanskrit definitions.
In between teaching Yoga classes and writing, I have some time
to read, and I was happy that I took the time to read Nicolai
Bachman's 139 page cross reference book for converting Sanskrit
terms to English.
The two CD's that accompany the book make this work "come to
life." The first CD covers chants for Yoga practice, Yoga
Sutras, and Yoga terms. The second CD covers Ashtanga sequences,
names of asanas, and much more. In the course of studying this
interactive book, you will learn the basic guidelines of
pronunciation for many more words.
The author, Nicolai Bachman, guides you through correct
pronunciations with the exact rhythm and tone. This book is a
masterpiece and a priceless reference tool for any serious
student, or teacher, of Yoga. For Yoga book collectors, this
book will be remembered with your personal favorites.
At this time, there is no other book on the market that provides
this much in-depth study of the Sanskrit Yoga words and cross
references it with English. Words are grouped together by
subject, such as numbers, Chakras, Bandhas, Mudras, Yamas, and
Niyamas. Many of the words that you might hear in the average
Yoga class are no longer a mystery to pronounce for English
speaking Yoga students.
Nicolai Bachman, has been a teacher of Sanskrit, and related
subjects, since 1994. He has studied extensively at the VagYoga
Institute in Varanasi, India, the American Sanskrit Institute,
the American Institute of Vedic Studies, the Vedic Chant Center,
the Ayurvedic Institute, and received his M.A. in Eastern
Philosophy from St. John's College.
Nicolai is a 500-hour level Registered Yoga Teacher. He teaches
Sanskrit, Ayurveda, and Yoga Philosophy; Nicolai currently
teaches in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
This book will be released later this month, at which time we
will have them in supply. Don't stay in the dark about speaking
Sanskrit, especially if you are teaching Yoga classes. Now, you
can be confident that your pronunciation is correct.
I enjoyed the book so much that I ordered a shipment for our
staff, on-site interns, and Yoga teachers, we network with
worldwide. If you are interested in getting a copy, feel free to
contact Aura Wellness Center.
