Vijnamaya Kosha (The inner wisdom sheath)

We live in culture that privileges the rational, logical left brain. What about our power of discernment for both decision making and for deeper knowing? Yoga nidra is a direct pathway to ignite this neglected sheath.

Most of us know of the yogic chakra system, the ‘turbines’ of energy reaching from the tailbone through the crown of the head. Less well known is the kosha model of the body. According to yoga, our bodies have 5 sheaths ranging in subtlety (a bit like the elements).

The 5 sheaths are

Physical - Annamaya Kosha

Energetic - Pranamaya Kosha

Mental Emotional - Manamaya Kosha

Inner Knowing - Vijnanamaya Kosha

Spiritual - Anandamaya Kosha

All workshops touch into yoga philosophy and therapy. We use a range methods, from pranayama to asana to the felt sense and somatic experience to inquire and invite in greater feeling for our each sheath.
