Prana vayu


Prana vayu is situated in the head, at the third eye point.
It flows inwards and upwards.
It nourishes the brain and eyes, and governs reception of all things: food, air, senses, and thoughts.

Prana vayu is the fundamental energy in the body.

This vayu is seen in plants as photosynthesis.  Leaves reach to the sun.

Prana vayu helps brighten the pose and create upward lift, length, and extension.

Prana vayu: air, chest region, inhalation, energy, absorption, vitality

Air is an outward force

Vinyasa cultivates Prana.  Inhalation increases Prana.
