Sanskrit · Yoga Darśana · Nāda
Sanskrit, Yoga philosophy, Vedic chanting and Carnatic music — taught from the original texts, by a scholar and musician with more than fifteen years of teaching behind her.
These subjects are usually taught apart. Here they are taught together, because in the tradition they were never separate.
संस्कृतम्
The language that carries the texts. From the Devanāgarī script to reading the Gītā and the Yoga Sūtras in the original.
दर्शनम्
Yoga Darśana, the Yoga Sūtras with the Vyāsa Bhāṣya, and the Bhagavad Gītā — as philosophy, not as decoration.
उपासना
Śikṣā — the science of correct recitation. Pronunciation, svara, mātrā, and a repertoire of Vedic and yogic chants.
नादः
Carnatic vocal music through Anāhata, and Nāda Yoga — sound as a path to inner awareness.

Study the original texts, the language, the philosophy and the traditional teaching. Not a summary of a translation of a commentary — the thing itself.
Turn knowledge into practice, through chanting, meditation, music, contemplation and disciplined daily study.
Bring what the tradition holds into ordinary life. Authentic learning happens when knowledge becomes experience, and experience becomes transformation.
