Koshas

We are lots of layers. In addition to skin, fascia, muscle, & bone, we also have sheaths that in yoga are called koshas. Here's a simple summary.

Physical Body - Annamaya Kosha
our physical systems & aryuvedic dosha

Energy Body - Pranamaya Kosha
our subtle breath, pranavayus, nadhis & chakras

Emotional Body - Manomaya Kosha
our emotions, thought patterns & gunas

Wisdom Body - Vijnyanamaya Kosha
our witness, intuition, & unveiling beliefs

Bliss Body - Anandamaya Kosha
our natural mind, peace, knowing, & rapture
