The subtle body

What are prana and the subtle body? 

This week we start our investigation with the feet and legs as the foundation of our temples and we will discover what is the function of bandhas, energetic gates.   

There is a polarity between the diaphragm at the sole of the foot and the perineum at the base of the spine. Mula-bandha commences with the lifting of the muscular padding at the sole of the foot (Pada-bandha)

In Yoga, practice bandha suggests an interior harness or yoke, to animate the flow of Prana. 

We will do this, establishing foundation through the feet, stimulating pressure points at the soles in Virasana, raising in side-angle-pose and chair pose, we will reviving peripheral points that impart an energetic current to the body’s core.

The flow will pass into the pelvis and sacrum nourishing the organs, glands, and spinal nerve.
