The Prana Vayus are the animating winds of prana, life-force energy. These energy currents are responsible for physiological movement and function, as well as energetic and psycho-spiritual elements of our practice and being. While we can feel them viscerally, their movement can be subtle and difficult to understand, discern, and utilize for students and teachers. But, they are essential for our growth as yogis—they are linked to our chakras and the five elements, and when all five vayus are functioning harmoniously, we optimize the health of the body and heart-mind.
The two-day Vayus module provides an in-depth experience of these five winds: Prana, Apana, Samana, Udana, and Vyana. Using pranayama, meditation, asana, mantra, and lecture, students can explore the awakening and sensations of these winds and all they govern. As well, we will examine our bodies and beings for imbalances or stagnancies, learn how to clear blockages and find more harmony and healing. Yoga experience is required, but this module is appropriate students as well as those seeking certification.
