In a slower practice we have time to tune into the inner workings of the body. What is active, dynamic, energetic - yang, versus what is feeling a little softer, quieter and steady - yin. In this short, nourishing flow we move without a sense of rush and embrace our own masculine and feminine elements.

Vijnanamaya kosha is the fourth of the five layers, or sheaths, of the body, which are collectively referred to as pancha kosha. Vijnanamaya kosha is the intellect/wisdom/knowledge sheath. Here we take in our Air element in a short sequence of long open holds. This element is one of the most subtle sheaths of the Kosha systems, here we can contemplate Viveka - our keen discernment between what is energising us and nourishing the self v when is destructive and perhaps draining for the self.

Our water yin is all about our connection to the second layer of the body (pranamaya kosha) our sense of prana. On a cellular level prana drives all awareness through the body, it stimulates digestion, circulation, respiration and excretion. So you see prana is not just the breath but the electric current causing ALL movement within - it is truly magical and constantly flowing.

A bite size run through of the koshas - the 5 x sheaths of the self. These move from Annamaya (food body) to Pranamaya (breath body) , Manomaya (mind body) into Vijnanamaya (wisdom body) and Anandamaya (bliss). Here we begin to see how the physical informs the more subtle elements which not only make up our own bodies but the entire cosmos. That’s right we are a micro fraction of what is taking place on a macro scale - you tiny speck of star dust!
