I enjoy reading your posts. I’m sure you already know of him, but Georg Feuerstein is an incredible ‘yoga’ resource. I wish he was still alive
Picked up the hardcopy/download hybrid version of this definitive, comprehensive Sanskrit course by American Sanskrit Institute last night.
I chose the hybrid version of "Noun Declensions" as my included Atlas course:

"Noun Declensions — Nouns are the most common forms in the Sanskrit language. This program includes 360 nouns in 12 declensions, each in all 8 cases, fully printed out, with 12 CDs (Downloads). This is an excellent supplement to Sanskrit by CD (Download Interactive). By providing additional practice of forms, increasing vocabulary and naturally increasing ease and speed in reading Devanagari script."
...and got a hardcover copy of the esteemed and most comprehensive "A Sanskrit-English Dictionary" by Sir Monier Monier-Williams (with well over 180,000 words).

Now, I can let go of my cassette rips and scanned PDFs, and dive deeper into these courses with high quality audio and hard copies of the written reference materials. I am quite looking forward to this.
जय हो (Jai Ho!) Let there be victory!

Thank you. Yes, I've read a few of his books. I particularly enjoyed The Lost Teachings of Yoga, which I last listened to around 17 years ago and have been meaning to revisit.
That is literally my favourite set of talks of all time. I’m actually going to manually transcribe it and turn it into a physical book. I have gifted this audiobook more times than any other gift. You should re-listen, his command of language, his tone in his voice is just beautiful.
I have often said that if you really want to internalize a book, write it out—word for word—by hand, with a pen and notebook. I support this undertaking.
