A special immersion with Marla Apt on the vayus
Saturday 1:30 – 5:30 pm & Sunday 1 – 3 pm
in-person
The vital energy that pervades the entire body is known as prana vayu. Hatha Yoga texts describe 5 main categories of vayu (wind) and how they function in supporting our personal health and vitality.
This workshop will introduce you to the vayus and give you practical tools to explore in your own practice. We will investigate how our asana and pranayama approaches can influence the circulation of the vayus within our body.
Working with physical actions and direction of the breath, the subtle experience of vayu can become cognisable to you, and help deepen your own engagement in yoga practice. Understanding the vayus and how they work will give you a deeper internal experience, and help you to cultivate your own energy from within.
Who is this program for? Iyengar Yoga practitioners with at least 1 year of study. Aspiring teachers and CIYT will be especially interested as knowledge of the vayus is required on the level 2 syllabus.
In-Person at Adeline Yoga: This workshop will be held in-person at our studio in Berkeley.
