Vayu translates as air, wind, or unseen forces. The vayus relate to the "airy" vital forces of the body.
Each of the 5 elements should be balanced in each part of yoga practice.
The vayus are winds that are responsible for the movement of prana, or life energy, through the body.
In the Vedas, Vayu is the Wind God; Master of Life, Inspirer of breath and the dynamic energy of Prana.
Prana is continuously moving through us in all directions. Yoga practice allows us to tune into and harness this flow so that we can increase our vitality and power.
