In this short monologue, the speaker passionately argues that teaching yoga in Sanskrit is essential, using the story of the sage Vashista to illustrate the deep cultural roots of the side‑plank pose (Vashistasana). He describes Vashista as a revered sage known for his wisdom, compassion, and mastery of ancient scriptures, even noting his role as guardian of sacred cows. The speaker claims that Vashista could hold the side‑plank pose far longer than anyone else, which is why the pose bears his name. By highlighting this legend, the speaker emphasizes the importance of learning Sanskrit to fully understand yoga’s heritage, implicitly supporting the broader online yoga teacher training program.
