A little more about the 5 Vayus:

Vayus” refers to the five main energetic currents or “winds” within the body. These work together to maintain balance and harmony within the body’s energetic system, influencing both physical and mental well-being.

1. Prana Vayu: Governs the intake of energy, including breath and sensory experiences.
2. Apana Vayu: Manages the downward and outward flow of energy, including elimination and reproductive functions.
3. Samana Vayu: Coordinates digestion and assimilation of nutrients.
4. Udana Vayu: Controls upward energy flow, including speech, expression, and mental clarity.
5. Vyana Vayu: Distributes energy throughout the body, facilitating movement and coordination.

Restorative yoga is a gentle and nurturing style of yoga that focuses on relaxation and deep rest. In a restorative yoga class we use props such as blankets, bolsters, and blocks to support your body in comfortable and passive poses. These poses are held for extended periods, often several minutes at a time, allowing the body to completely relax and release tension.

The primary goal of restorative yoga is to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, also known as the “rest and digest” system. By doing so, it counteracts the effects of stress and promotes relaxation, healing, and rejuvenation on both a physical and mental level.

Restorative yoga is suitable for individuals of all levels and can be particularly beneficial for those recovering from injury, dealing with chronic pain or illness, or simply seeking a gentle and restorative practice to balance out a more active lifestyle.

Integrating sound and mantra into your yoga practice can greatly enhance the overall experience. The vibrations are powerful tools for deepening focus and concentration, drawing your awareness inward during practice.

The repetition of mantras creates a specific atmosphere; certain sounds and chants calm the nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing stress levels. By infusing mantras with personal intention, you can align your practice with specific goals or values, fostering a sense of purpose and mindfulness throughout your yoga journey.
