The 5 Layers of Human Existence

- Pranamaya Kosha – The Energy Body (The life force energy that animates you. Governs breath, circulation and vitality, Balanced through pranayama & breath awareness)
- Manomaya Kosha – The Mental Body ( Thoughts, memories & sensory input. The narratives you tell yourself, Developed through concentration & meditation)
- Vijnanamaya Kosha – The Wisdom Body (The inner guide beyond thought. Intuition, feelings & deep understanding , supported through self-study & reflection)
- Anandamaya Kosha – The Bliss Body (The deepest part of you, pure Joy & peace. Felt in moments of stillness, love, and deep presence. This is not something to Achieve, But something to remember, when you practice yoga, you nourish ALL layers of yourself.
