As appropriate, you might tell a story about a Sanskrit term and why it’s used in yoga.
You could, for example, explain a pose name such as Hanumanasana by sharing the story of Hanuman and explaining why the posture is associated with the deity.
You could make a Sanskrit word such as ahimsa your theme for a class, educating students about the etymology of the term, various translations and deeper exploration of the concept.
