The 5 Vayus: How Energy Moves Through Your Body (Part 1)


Listen Later

Prana isn't just breath—it's your life force, and it moves in five distinct directions within your body, shaping your emotions, digestion, vitality, and mood.

In this episode (Part 1 of a 2-part series), we dive into the 5 Vayus—the energetic currents of prana—and how they influence your inner and outer experience. You'll discover how these ancient teachings connect to the chakras and how yoga practices like pranayama can restore balance and flow.

You'll learn:

🔹 What the Vayus are and how they impact your body and mind

🔹 Why energy stagnation leads to emotional or physical "dis-ease"

🔹 The roles of Prana Vayu (inspiration), Apana Vayu (elimination), and Samana Vayu (assimilation)

🔹 How to identify and rebalance energetic imbalances

If you've ever felt stuck, depleted, or "off" without knowing why, this episode offers a powerful map to understanding the energetic roots of your experience.
