What are Vayus energy centers in the body? Learning about Ayurveda & Chakras was just the beginning...now let’s dig into Vayus! Vayu literally translates to wind. The five subdivisions of vayu are as follows: 1. Prana vayu - Situated in the head, this is the fundamental energy. Governs the reception of everything from air to food, from senses to thoughts. 2. Apana vayu - Active in the pelvic and lower abdominal areas. Improves digestion, elimination and reproduction. 3. Vyana vayu - Governs the heart and lungs, and supports the function of other vayus. 4. Udana vayu - Situated in the throat region. Promotes self-expression and growth. 5. Samana vayu - Present in the abdomen with the navel as its energy base. Governs digestion of everything from food to thoughts. Balancing the vayus while practicing yoga poses not only promotes physical strength, but also helps the practitioner move closer to their spiritual aspirations. Credit: www.mindbodygreen.com NAMASTE!
