ON THIS WEEK'S EPISODE: VAYU TATTVA (THE AIR ELEMENT)

This week we explore Vayu Tattva, the air element, and its role as the animating force that moves life itself. From the subtlety of breath to the invisible currents that shape our emotions and thoughts, Vayu is a reminder of how vital movement and space are to our wellbeing.


KEY CONCEPTS COVERED

  • The qualities (gunas) of the air element: light, mobile, dry, cool, subtle

  • Vayu Deva as the personification of the air element

  • Signs of excess and depletion of Vayu in the body and mind

  • The connection between breath, nervous system regulation, and prana vayus

  • Yoga practices to balance and embody the air element


TEXTUAL SOURCES

  • Insights from classical texts including the Gheranda Samhita and references to the heart chakra (Anahata) and the bija mantra YAM


  • PRACTICAL INTEGRATION

    Discover how to integrate the air element into your daily life through breath awareness, backbending asanas, pranayama techniques like kumbhaka and bhramari, and embracing spontaneity to cultivate lightness and clarity.
