Kamala Knowlton

Kamala Knowlton was introduced to Sanskrit in 2009, intrigued by the sounds of asana names as they were called out by the teacher.  Wanting more, she sought out the help of the American Sanskrit Institute’s Sanskrit by CD program. Within a few months, she had learned the alphabet, how to read Devanagari, and some grammar; and soon after began her study of the Yoga Sutras.  In 2012, Kamala began the ASI apprenticeship training under the direction of Zoe Mai, which not only deepened her understanding of the alphabet and the grammar, but heightened her appreciation for the depth and structure of the language. In 2014, she became an apprentice teacher for ASI. Today she continues her study of the Yoga Sutras, and is delving into translating and memorizing verses of the Bhagavad Gita.  Kamala teaches weekend ASI immersions and small group study, using a learning system based on yogic principles that will set you free.  Kamala (ERYT500) also teaches Integral Yoga Hatha, Gentle Flow Yoga, and Restorative Yoga on California’s Central Coast.
