ShivaniYoga

The depth of the pose is in its meaning.

Decode the practice. Get wiser through interpretation.

Sanskrit is one of the most ancient languages in the world. Yet, in the modern day, many people practicing or teaching Yoga hardly know the names of the poses or understand the symbolism and deeper learning behind them.

After many years of practice, I gradually gravitated towards learning Sanskrit, and my first step was memorising the names of the poses.

Today, I have developed a rich vocabulary of over 50 poses, along with their articulation and taking the time to understand and refine their pronunciation.

With yoga comes learning — poses, language, culture, and a deeper understanding of Yoga itself when we truly immerse ourselves in the practice.

Surya Namaskar- Harnessing the power of the Sun
A moving meditation
Offering a prayer
Sadhana - a practice of devotion!

I’ve been teaching yoga for many years, and one of my favorite parts of this journey is the conversations that happen before and after class.

So, let’s continue that here.
Is there something you’ve been curious about?

It could be yoga, mobility, strength training, menopause, starting a practice, my book, or simply how I approach living well.

Leave your question in the comments or sehd me a DM. I’ll answer as many as I can over the next few days.
No question is too small—I look forward to hearing from you.
