我的第一个瑜伽老师把这个词的重音放在第二个音节，就像这样“阿【萨】那”，直到现在我仍然觉得这个发音听起来还不错。但事实上，正确的发音应该是“【阿】萨那”。这个单词的字面意思是“座位”，但在瑜伽课堂里，它的意思是“体式”，比如说，Balasana = 婴儿式, Navasana = 船式……等等。

Asana. My first yoga teacher put the accent on the second syllable, like this: ah-SAW’-nah. I still think that has a nice ring to it. But the correct pronunciation is AH’-sah-nah. Literally, it means, “seat,” but in yoga class it’s pretty much interchangeable with the word “pose.” For example, Balasana = Child’s Pose, Navasana = Boat Pose… and so on.



这是我最喜欢梵语单词，因为它的发音很有趣。Namaste的意思是：我的神圣光芒向你的神圣光芒致敬。而我极为简化地把它翻译为“我很棒，你也很棒，所有练习者都很棒。我们都在一起练习瑜伽，难道这不是件超级棒的事情吗？谢谢你来练习。

Namaste. This is my favorite Sanskrit word because it’s fun to say–nah’-mah’-stay. It means: The divine light within me salutes the divine light within you. My incredibly simplified translation: I’m awesome. You’re awesome. All these other people are awesome. Isn’t it awesome that we just practiced yoga together? Thanks for your presence.



我们把它发音为Ooooooohhhhhmmmmmmm。很显然，这是宇宙的声音。OM的书面版本已经成通用的瑜伽的象征符号，无论是瑜伽馆的墙上，还是瑜伽学生的纹身，这个符号都随处可见。但是它的意义是什么呢？从本质上说，我们都是宇宙的一部分，我们一直在移动、改变和呼吸。当我们唱诵OM时，我们身体所发出的振动就和宇宙的振动连接上了。

Om. Ooooooohhhhhmmmmmmm. Apparently, this is the sound of the universe. The written version of Om has become a universal symbol of yoga–it adorns yoga studio walls and is tattooed on yoga students everywhere. But what does it mean? Essentially, we are all a part of this universe–always moving, always changing, and always breathing. When you chant Om, you’re tapping into that vibration.



意思是：平和。我们唱诵“Om shanti shanti shanti”是在祈祷平和。在佛教和印度教里，唱诵3遍Shanti代表的是平和的身体、语言和心灵。

Shanti. Peace. When you chant, “Om shanti shanti shanti,” it’s an invocation of peace. In Buddhist and Hindu traditions you chant shanti three times to represent peace in body, speech, and mind.





我们都知道瑜伽是身、心、灵的连接。这就是Yoga这个词的意义：联合、结合。它确实是使我们身、心、灵连接的练习，但也可以有更多的意义。它能让我们与自己连接、与彼此连接、与环境连接，最终，与真理连接。

Yoga. We all know that yoga is the union of body, mind, and spirit. That’s what the word yoga means–yoke or union. It is, indeed, the practice of connecting our body, mind, and spirit, but it can mean more than that, too. It’s about connecting us to ourselves, each other, our environment, and, eventually, our truth.

愿每个人都充满和平与美丽，爱与光芒。

NAMASTE！

May you each be blessed with peace and beauty, love and light.
