The Wisdom of the Vayus: Empowerment in Modern Wellness and Yoga Practice

Doug is returning to the Yoga Space with an expansive yet eminently practical journey into the contemporary relevance of the ideas, practices and tools of hatha yoga for modern wellness.
The yogis had a vocabulary of empowerment, which they called the ‘Vayus’ or ‘powers’ of Prana, the life force. The terms may seem arcane, but they contained profound insights into the complexities of our Autonomic Nervous System, which is at the center of contemporary health issues — particularly those involving inflammatory conditions.
The Vayus represent the states of the nervous system which support our health. When coupled with the concepts introduced by the hatha yogis, we are given a map for practice which makes eminent sense in the light of modern understanding. Notably, the concepts of the Sun and Moon ‘nadis’ introduced by the hatha yogis have special bearing on our evolving modern understanding of the the vagus nerve and its profound role in nearly every aspect of our physical, mental, and emotional health.
The beauty of this understanding of Prana and the Vayus, as significantly transformed by the hatha yogis, is that we are encouraged to focus more on our powers than our problems — to focus on the resources built into us that we can bring to bear on our challenges, if we know how to enlist them.
The sessions of these three days of the intensive will be organized around the theme of these Vayus, and will explore experientially the direct influence of our yoga practices on the realms of wellness described by the Vayus. We’ll cover not only asana, with insights into the therapeutic wisdom of yoga, but also devote time to a subtle and profound exploration of the experience of pranayama that will reorient your understanding of these practices, as well as of meditation.
