"[This] course was a breakthrough experience for me- both personally & professionally. I work as a public speaker, in many different capacities- and for years have noticed a slight speech impediment that I could reduce but never really solve. When I was tired, irritable or upset it would come back. After a few short weeks of study with Shivani Hawkins at Living Sanskrit, I noticed that my whole approach to speaking was transformed- with a subtlety that ensured it was occurring organically… almost imperceptibly and yet the results were completely tangible and profound- far-reaching in their effects... what I assumed was a ‘speech’ issue was much more about my breath energy, and I began to notice all the ways I was leaking energy in my daily life, through speech, thoughts, actions and interactions. My speech became clearer. Less ahh’s, umm’s… I could connect whole thoughts to each other and sustain my audience’s attention in environments that were distracting, to say the least! And most of all, my speech impediment was entirely gone!"
