Tutorial for Chanting the Yogasutra of Patanjali
Samadhipada Andy Sugerman
A yoga teacher and yoga therapist who studied Sanskrit with S. Ramaswami (a student of T. Krishnamacharya), Andy breaks down the chanting of the Yoga Sutra into 55 separate tracks so you can work with each one separately or as a complete practice. No worries if you have difficulty with the sounds: The final track on the CD is a prayer asking forgiveness for any mistakes made in the pronunciation of the Sanskrit. AndySugerman@aol.com
