Perhaps you are familiar with the yoga vocabulary, perhaps no.  There is always room to improve :)

This  page is designed with the intention that everyone would be clear about what to expect from the weekend - and hopefully it will be also useful for the rest of your practice. Some of this words are Sanskrit words, the original language of yoga and they are regularly used in  yoga studios and in the yoga world.
