Yoga and Ayurveda: The Vital Essences

The three vital essences (prana, tejas, and ojas) provide guiding principles that allow us to approach Yoga as alchemy. These subtle forces are a basis to heal as well as transform body and mind. We overview the key yogic teachings of Ayurveda and the yoga practices that increase and balance each of the vital essences.

ParaYoga: Theory and Application of Bandha

Bandha, the next step after asana, is the gateway to mastering the energetics of yoga. Perfection of bandha increases the reach of asana to heal and balance, steady mind, build creative power, and path the way toward the culmination of practice­––self-realization. We explore the “what” and “why” of bandha and then, through practice, experience its effect on heightening the power and effect of asana.
