I'm doing a yoga webinar, and "sadhana" was pronounced "SA da na" - mind blown!
(Many of you probably had it correct, but for myself, I was saying "sad HAN a" in my head. )

Honestly, I don't use more Sanskirt when teaching b/c I'm always afraid I'll mess it up! I think it's a very accessible language though, and I love the sounds of the words. I can generally write the pose names better than I can teach them!

P.S. By next week or so (depending on what happens with a major medical procedure currently scheduled for later this week --I do hope for it to resolve the problems that have inhibited my physical activity for some time), I hope to begin something different that doesn't involve body scans (as I think of the term) but does involve inducing feelings in various parts of the body, something called autogenic training. I'll be trying a 14-week training program from a book; similar phrasing appears in a PDF handout from the US Veterans Health Administration titled "Autogenic Training" and another PDF which it cites, a document with the same name from the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health. My primary goal isn't stress reduction or relaxation as such, but I've found previous trials with the beginning stages ("my [limb] is getting heavy") very relaxing and haven't finished the whole 14 weeks in previous attempts not from unease or discomfort because of different practical reasons. (An extended recovery period may be a good opportunity for me to try it again.) I was already aware that 14 weeks is 98 days and have considered attaching something like a sadhana-inspired reading schedule to at least part of it. Our recent mentions of yoga nidra remind me of how I didn't do yoga nidra during the sadhana period this year, and if I have the time, I may try it somewhat regularly then. (After that time, I hope to be better able to try something more physically demanding.)
