The 5 Prana Vayus 

- Asana, Pranayama  & Yoga Nidra

with APARNA offered live on Zoom

The 5 prana Vauys are the five currents of life force or prana running through us. Each vayu is governs a physical location, physical and subtle function as well as emotional qualities and mental energies. Each of the Vayus of prana have subtle differences in function and direction of flow in the body. Together, they serve to energize and connect all of our activities, on multiple levels.Through focusing on each of these Vayus in the wkshp, we’ll cultivate a deeper awareness that enriches the quality of our breath, movement and sense of body-mind-spirit connectedness.

In this 2-part wkshp, Aparna  will explore with us the energetics of the five Vayus, their value and significance in yoga practice,  the role they play in Ayurveda,  balancing them with specific pranayama’s and then put it all together in a guided Yoga Indra practice. You’ll come away from the course with a clear and experiential understanding of the Vayus, and an appreciation of how to access them in your yoga practice to carry you forward in your practice.
