Sanskrit
Claudette is a self-described yoga nerd and came to Sanskrit through of her love of singing, chanting and yoga philosophy. Her formal study began in 2010 with the American Sanskrit Institute's Weekend Immersion, which lit the flame for her independent study using ASI's Sanskrit by CD program, and attending workshops led by ASI-trained teachers. She now studies with Zoe Mai, and completed the ASI Apprenticeship Program with her in October 2014. Claudette enjoys chanting and studying classic texts, like the Bhagavad Gita and the Yoga Sutras of Patañjali, and the grammar and philosophy found within. She shares the beauty of Sanskrit in her weekly classes, in workshops and yoga teacher trainings around the Pacific Northwest and in Canada.
