What are the five pranas and why are they important?

Today, Brandt is talking all about the 5 pranas, also known as the Prana Vayus. Each of the 5 pranas moves in a different direction, is primarily located in different areas in or around the physical body, and is inherently linked to the breath. It’s important to have a strong connection to the 5 pranas when we work with prana or the breath. Following these energetic currents is a practice in itself that can bring us great insight into the nature of our relationship with the outer pranic world, which is the same as the inner pranic world. Brandt shares important information about what each of the 5 pranas is, how they move with the breath, what each prana governs, and what their uses are in the context of the energetic and physical body and Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy. Brandt will then guide you through a quick breathing practice which will take you through all 5 pranas. This will help you start to cultivate an awareness of the pranas and increase your sensitivity to the different energetic currents moving through your system. This podcast is a clip taken from the ‘Pranic Body’ module inside our Yoga Therapy Foundations Program.
