Know Thyself

The Koshas: 5 Layers of Self-Awareness
The ancient yogis believed we’re made of five sheaths—or kos

The ancient yogis believed we are made of five sheaths—or koshas—each layer bringing us closer to our true self. The 5 Layers of Self-Awareness

So as you move through your Yoga flow, ask yourself:

“Which layer am I connecting to right now?”

Move with curiosity.

LET YOGA BECOME A CONVERSATION WITH YOUR WHOLE SELF—NOT JUST YOUR MUSCLES.

🌿 Annamaya (Physical Body)

The outer layer—bones, muscles, breath. Where most yoga begins.
We feed it through movement, rest, and care.

🌿 Manomaya (Mental Body)

The mind and emotions. We soften this layer through presence and awareness.

🌿 Pranamaya (Energy Body)

The breath, vitality, and flow of prana.
We nourish it through mindful breathing and flow.

🌿 Vijnanamaya (Wisdom Body)

The inner voice—the part of you that knows.
Accessed through stillness, reflection, and trust.

🌿 Anandamaya (Bliss Body)

The innermost self—peaceful, connected, whole.
Not a feeling, but a state of being that lives beneath the noise

YOGA IN EVERYDAY LIFE

Why Morning Stiffness Happens—and What Your Body’s Asking For

Some mornings, it feels like the body needs a few extra minutes just to .... arrive.

The joints creak, the breath feels shallow, and even standing up can feel like a task.

Gentle yoga can support anyone feeling stiff or slow in the morning by awakening the joints, easing tension, and setting the tone for the day, with just a few minutes of movement and breath.

When the body has been still for hours, especially as we age, it can take time to reconnect the breath, joints, and brain.

Here’s what’s really going on beneath the surface:

Reduced proprioception (body awareness)

Sleep and stillness quiet the nervous system.

A short mobility ritual wakes it back up, restoring balance and spatial awareness.

Thickened synovial fluid

This natural joint lubricant thickens overnight. Slow, circular motion helps it warm and spread, like oil for the joints.

Shallow breathing

Sleep posture (especially on your side or curled up) can limit chest expansion. Deep morning breaths re-open the ribs, fueling your body with oxygen and energy.

Emotional reset

A gentle morning practice doesn’t just move the body—it resets your relationship with the day ahead. You start from awareness, not urgency.

But stiffness isn’t a permanent state—it’s simply a request for attention.

The First 3 Minutes Matter

Before...

reaching for your phone (!)

or stepping into the day’s tasks, try this:

Sit tall at the edge of your bed
Circle a few joints
Take one deep breath in through the nose
Exhale slowly through the mouth

🌿 This tiny ritual sends your nervous system a powerful signal....

You’re safe.

You’re steady.

You can move at your own pace.

Yoga doesn’t start with a mat or a stretch—it starts with a choice: to listen, breathe, and begin with care.
