Day 3 & 4 of our Pancha Kosha journey. After caring for the body built of food (Annamaya), we now turn to the Prāṇamaya Kosha – the vital sheath of life force. 🕯️ Like a candle without flame, a body without prāṇa is just anatomy. But how do we know prāṇa exists? Let’s look at 3 clues: • Heart Rate Variability – 6-sec inhale + 6-sec exhale can increase HRV by 20% in under 5 minutes • Nitric Oxide – soft nostril breathing releases this gas, boosting memory and blood flow • Brain Rhythms – slow breaths send waves through the limbic system: prāṇa as inner music 🧘♂️ Our practice over the next 2 days focuses on: 1. Recharge – Side stretches + backbends to energise the breath body 2. Balance – Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) to harmonise the nadis 3. Channel – Gentle kumbhaka (breath retention) to guide the flow of prāṇa 🌬️ Remember, prāṇa isn’t just the breath—it’s how you breathe in moments of stress, joy, work, or silence. 🔸Watch full practice tomorrow at 6am on YouTube 📅 Ongoing: Daily at 6:00 a.m. 🎥 Watch the free 10-day Pañcha Kosha series on our YouTube channel 🔔 Subscribe to Bharat Yogavidya Kendra's YouTube to receive each video + join us live on International Yoga Day, 21 June ▶️ https://youtube.com/@bharatyogavidyakendra #PanchaKosha #PranamayaKosha #PranaHealing #BreathworkIndia #TraditionalYoga #SriM #YogaWisdom #YogaScience #VagusNerve #PranayamaPractice #Kumbhaka #FreeYogaClass #FreeYogaOffering #InternationalYogaDay #InternationalYogaDayIndia #BharatYogaVidyaKendra #InnerJourney #YogaForLife Bharat Yogavidya Kendra (BYK) is a yoga school committed to sharing the essence of traditional yoga through online and offline courses, workshops, and teacher training courses.
