Many parents are enthusiastic for their children to experience the joy of learning Sanskrit, whether it is an important part of family cultural identity or they want their children to benefit from ASI’s life-changing learning model. Since our model centers on meditative focus, a practice drawn from Patanjali’s yoga sutras, children get to practice a valuable skill that translates into many other parts of their lives.
Learning, speaking, writing, and reading Sanskrit is embodied; it’s a process that naturally opens up parts of the brain that regulate stress, ignites creativity, and inscribes memory. Children typically have a more open way of sensing the world, and thus, when they work with the vibration of sound and breath in the palate, nasal passages, throat, and chest, the knowledge is understood readily and rapidly. This empowering Sanskrit immersion will bring children into deeper awareness of their capabilities and their bodies.
This workshop is delivered entirely online, which enables children to work with peers from all parts of America and the world. We encourage interaction, digital and non-digital participation, movement, and developing quality relationships with ourselves and each other in this setting. The possibilities are endless with this virtual School of Sanskrit immersion!
The immersion runs over five weeks, with two 90-minute meetings per week. We ask that grown-ups ensure children’s punctual presence for each class so that they can receive all the benefits of the program. We provide a Google Classroom forum, digital files, and a workbook for home study to ensure children’s full participation. At the instructor’s discretion, videos or audio recordings may be shared with children who are absent due to illness or emergency.
Children will need to be in a distraction-free space, preferably with headphones, using a large tablet or computer (not a phone). Children must be able to focus on the computer screen, be uninterrupted, and speak and chant out loud with the group. Sessions are held using Zoom software. A supply list and pdf files will be provided for in-class drawing, writing, and brainstorming practices.
Participation is limited to 10 students. Please join us for this adventure for a lifetime!
All sessions are in EST.
