Two Great Educational Opportunities: One Low Price

Courses with live support are often provided between fixed beginning and end calendar dates. Online courses that you can take at your own pace are often pre-recorded and lack live support.

That is a savings of $100! Take advantage of this combined offer and begin your journey to being a Yoga Philosophy expert!  Speak with confidence about Yoga Philosophy and be able to examine translations and the original texts of influential works such as the Yoga Sūtra and Bhagavad Gītā

Introduction to Sanskrit

Whether you are a novice or your Sanskrit is rusty and you would like to brush up, this subscription course is designed to help you learn the Sanskrit language independently, and at your own pace. Join the definitive introduction to Sanskrit for Yogis! In this course, master the basic vocabulary, grammar, and reading skills that you need in order to engage with the Yoga Sūtra, Bhagavad Gītā, and other philosophical texts in Sanskrit. Students who enroll will have the benefits of expert video lectures and slides to guide them through lessons and exercises. What’s more, the course includes synchronous virtual tutorials where you can directly ask the instructor your specific questions. These tutorials will be recorded, so if you can’t make it, you can send in your questions and have them answered. This course is a must for students of yoga interested in getting the most out of their traditional yoga resources. This Yoga Philosophy course is brought to you and supervised by Dr. Shyam Ranganathan, founder of Yoga Philosophy, translator of Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtra (Penguin 2008) from Sanskrit, and translation expert. Shyam holds an MA in South Asian Studies, an MA and PhD in philosophy, and is a CYA-E-RYTGOLD yoga teacher (over 1000 hours training). Your Course Director in Sanskrit is Anusha Sudindra Rao, who is a PhD candidate in the Department of the Study of Religion at the University of Toronto. Anusha holds BA and MA degrees with a focus on Sanskrit, has participated with international scholars on research projects on Sanskrit manuscripts, and is currently conducting advanced research on the Sanskrit literature of Dvaita Vedānta.

Course renews every two months. Two months is sufficient to cover the material. Students may want to stay enrolled longer to take advantage of the continued support. Cancel any time. This course counts towards continuing education requirements.

Level 1 Certification (100 Hours) --- Qualifying Course

If you want to understand advanced research in Biology, Chemistry, or Mathematics, you have to be a Biologist, Chemist or Mathematician. Same goes for Philosophy. If you want to understand advanced research in Philosophy, like the ancient wisdom of Yoga Philosophers, you have to be a Philosopher. What if you aren't any of these and you want to learn? Well then you should learn Biology from a Biologist, and Philosophy from a Philosopher. Due to Western Imperialism, Yoga Philosophy and South Asian philosophy is not given the respect it deserves: instead it is treated as though nonexperts, who are not trained philosophers, can be authorities. Enter Yoga Philosophy. Yoga Philosophy is unusual as it is instruction on yoga and philosophy by a yogi who is a professional philosopher, author of over 50 peer reviewed publications, who specializes in translation, South Asian philosophy, and Yoga. Now students of Yoga Philosophy can earn two levels of certification, either for their own edification, or to set themselves apart as qualified to teach yoga philosophy (including yoga ethics) Yoga Philosophy Certification shows to others that your guidance and teaching on Yoga Philosophy is also informed by such research and expertise. Students who successfully complete certification will also gain Dr. Shyam Ranganathan as a reference for Yoga Philosophy job applications. To earn your Level 1, Yoga Philosophy certification, purchase this qualifying course (for gaining support in the certification process and for testing to complete certification) and complete your 100 hours by completing four other substantive courses that total 100 hours: Five Limbs, Yoga for Mental Well Being, Yoga Moral Philosophy, and Beyond the Surface Abiding In One's Essence. Enroll in this qualifying course first and receive discounted prices on these four required courses and other Yoga Philosophy courses. The low price of Level 1 Certification for 100 hours --- this course, plus the other four substantive courses ($1223--- and may be less given promotional discounts on this course)--- is a fraction of the hourly price for most reputable YTT programs. Additional gains: unparalleled Yoga and Philosophy education, PLUS bonus discounts and content to other Yoga Philosophy products, including those required to complete certification. ***With the combined discount, take off an additional $100 from the low price!*** Dr. Shyam Ranganathan is a scholar of South Asia, translation expert, and professional philosopher.
