I am getting ready to learn some Sanskrit and am looking for a textbook. The goal is to be able to read yoga-related works.
If anyone has suggestions I'd be very interested and grateful.

Maheswari, since you're the one who knows the most Sanskrit among us, it's only fair that you'd be our teacher, or at least a consultant.
It'll be fun!
