Sanskrit the ancient language of the Vedas means 'refined speech'. It is considered the language of the Gods and each seed, syllable and word has vibrational power beyond the sense of sound but omits a tattva (essence) of equilibrium to the space between the atoms that make up the body.

• Yoga teachers often name the asanas (poses) and practices in both English and Sanskrit for this very reason

Pronunciation of Sanskrit can vary from guru to guru depending on their lineage and region of study in India. This differing pronunciation adds to the nervousness of Western teachers of Yoga as to saying the words with conviction. Relax, enjoy and deliver from the heart and all will be well.

Students have asked for audio files of each yoga pose to be added to the Yoga Professionals website, and we listened. Further study of Sanskrit is recommended.

Below are all the main asanas and mantras in single file format. A lot of love went into this so enjoy the good vibes. Loka Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu (may everyone everywhere be blessed with happiness and joy).
