Live one-to-one and small-group Sanskrit classes for learners in the San Francisco Bay Area, taught online in English or Hindi by a Shastri-qualified teacher. Free counselling before you decide.
The Bay Area has a large community of Indian-origin professionals and families, many with long working days. Parents want something steady for children's Sanskrit, and adults want to study the Gita or chanting on weekends or early mornings.
The Bay Area is on US Pacific time: India is 12½ hours ahead in summer (PDT) and 13½ hours ahead in winter (PST).
