Sandra Anderson – Breath of Life: The Five Prana Vayus
Description Of Breath of Life: The Five Prana Vayus
DISCOVER HOW THE PRANA VAYUS ARE RELATED TO THE STRUCTURE OF THE BODY, THE CHAKRAS, AND THE MENTAL/EMOTIONAL PATTERNS, AND LEARN HOW TO CULTIVATE SENSITIVITY
TO THE INNER PRANIC FLOW OF INTELLIGENCE AND AWARENESS.
Then, explore prana shakti through the prana vayus, the five aspects of prana that animate and integrate the body and mind.
Because inner healing and awakening begins with understanding and accessing the life force, prana shakti, working with this potent force is the objective of yoga practice.
