This Masterclass will delve into the intricate relationship between the Prana Vayus and the Nervous System, offering an introductory exploration tailored for yoga teachers, movement professionals, and healthcare providers across mental, emotional, and physical disciplines.

Learn about the five winds of the body, the Prana Vayus—Prana, Apana, Udana, Samana, and Vyana—each governing distinct physiological and energetic functions within the body. Through a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application, you will learn how these vital energies influence and harmonize with the nervous system, impacting overall health and well-being.

The course will feature:

• A presentation with a general overview: Discover the ancient wisdom of the Prana Vayus and their modern scientific correlations with the autonomic nervous system.
• Practical exercises: Engage in movement and breathwork practices designed to balance the Prana Vayus, promoting nervous system regulation and resilience.
• The Prana Vayus as a Model for Yoga Therapy: Explore and discuss how we as professionals observe and respond to these forces within ourselves and the people we serve.
• Guided Somatic practice and meditation: Experience firsthand the calming and restorative effects of integrating Prana Vayu knowledge into mindfulness practices.

This class provides both a theoretical and experiential glimpse into how the Prana Vayus and the nervous system interconnect. Understanding this timeless framework for the subtle body enriches our clinical knowledge of anatomy/physiology. Having a variety of tools to support individual self-realization fosters holistic healing and vitality. Join us for this transformative learning experience and make your inner universe a little more wonderful.
