Full description

Sanskrit is an ancient Indo-Aryan language which has played an influential role in the practice and development of yoga throughout the ages. Many yoga texts considered of significant importance have been composed in Sanskrit, such as the Pātañjalayogaśāstra or the Haṭhapradīpikā. Many of the terms and concepts used in yoga are still taken from Sanskrit.
