This month we are going to explore the 5 Koshas of our being. Here is a description of each of the layers as described by the Upanishads. We will explore each Kosha for a week to expand our awareness and embody these layers.

1.   Annamaya kosha (food) - This outermost kosha feeds the physical body and sustains the other koshas. In yoga, asanas can affect this kosha by nurturing the body.

2. Pranamaya kosha (energy) - This kosha regulates the flow of prana (life-force energy) through the body via the nadis (energy channels) and the chakras (intense points of energy). In yoga, both asanas and pranayama (breathing exercises) affect this kosha

3. Manomaya kosha (mind) - Manomaya is the kosha that contains and controls thoughts and emotions. Various aspects of yoga practice affect this kosha. For example, meditation and alternate nostril breathing can calm the mind

4. Vijnanamaya kosha (intuition) - This kosha is connected to a deeper level of intuition and inner wisdom. In yoga, meditation and meditative asanas affect this kosha

5. Anandamaya kosha (bliss) - The deepest layer, this kosha contains ecstasy, love and joy. Some traditions refer to this layer as the true Self, while others believe this kosha opens the door to the true Self.
