Welcome to the 7th and final part of Sounding Off: Accessibility. If you’re new to the Sounding Off series, you can quickly get caught up on the series archive!
This week, we’re circling back to a few topics that we’ve discussed in previous weeks – namely, socio-linguistic hierarchies and histories of exclusion in Sanskrit culture – to explore barriers to entry and the potential advantages of Sanskrit education. As you explore the content in the tabs below, consider the question that we seek to answer, each in our own ways:
Should we really be speaking Sanskrit in our yoga classes?
Thank you SO MUCH for reading and engaging with Sounding Off! This week’s post is the final part in this series; however, be sure to check back next Wednesday for my reflection on all seven parts, including a round-up of each week’s takeaways and a complete, compiled bibliography for your further reading pleasure.
I’ll also continue writing about my yoga experiences and research in the weeks to come. If you’re not yet subscribed to my Substack, you can do so now to get all my writings straight to your email inbox. The sign-up is in the sidebar on the right!
Much love,
Kaya (The Woke Yogi)
