Sanskrit Word of the Day
Dṛṣṭi
Drishti, formed from the sanskrit root dṛś(to see), is used in yoga to signify the gaze, or more specifically where the gaze falls. Note the use of the vocalic ṛ (something not present in english) and the retroflex ṣ and ṭ. Drishti, along with bandhas and ujjayi breath are the three fundamental components of the traditional ashtanga vinyasa practice.
