Prana, the life force, consists of five prana vayus, or “essential airs,” each defined by the specific ways that energy moves in the body. Lisa Hartjen guides us through asana practices that activate and direct each of the vayus. After joining her in the introduction, support your heart and respiratory system through a session on prana; digest and assimilate your food as well as your experiences better by working with samana; nurture clarity of thought and speech through the short practice on udana; tap into fluidity and ease with movements that support vyana; and release mental and physical refuse by working with apana.
