In this episode, I introduce the Anamaya Kosha, the physical body within the Kosha system. I explore the importance of understanding and nurturing our physical form, comparing it to a car that requires regular maintenance and care. I touch on themes of health, identity, and the many ways we express ourselves through our bodies. By emphasizing present-centered awareness, I set the stage for an eight-week journey focused on yoga practices, tools, and techniques designed to nourish and help us thrive in our physical bodies.
