Sanskrit Asana pronunciation guide?

[Josh Feltman]

My friend is a Yoga instructor, and he's looking for a site that gives audio files of asanas in Sanskrit. If anyone has any links, I'd appreciate it.

Anyone? Beoram? Beuller? Beuller? Beuller?

Here's one, Josh.

The strange characters on my Villager made me curious, so I tried (didn't succeed) in figuring them out.

The link above is a pronuniciation guide.

AA--thanks! I'll pass it on. Not sure if that's exactly what he's looking for, but it can't hurt.

AA, if i'm not mistaken (which i probably am), i think the symbols by the bolster on a villager is the sanskrit version of the roman letters on the standard models. I think I remember someone saying that the symbols at the bend of the khuk on a standard model are sanskrit for "H.I." and on the villager models they mean "B.G." for BirGorka. Anyone else know if that is right?

try this book Yoga: The Iyengar Way for pronunciation of the asana names - other than that, i would find a general book/cd/cassette on sanskrit pronunciation in general (overall, if one goes by the roman transliteration, it's roughly like italian pronunciation):.
