Light as Air

Air creates movement and change. This is the concept of Vayu or wind in ayurveda.

Positive aspects of air is creativity, poetry, playfulness, having dreams and visions. Movement of our digestion, circulation and breath is associated with air.

But if the air element dominates we might get exhausted, feel constipated, dry, cold, have no appetite, ungrounded and perhaps even anxious.

We can create balance by being in nature, breathing deeply and slowly, eat warm foods and, my favourite, have oil massages.

The element of air is also associated with the heart centre or the anahata chakra. A place of love and compassion. Where we receive and offer our breath.

Movement in our yoga practise is an excellent way to experience the concept of vayu, air. These two online yoga classes explores how to live with an open heart, lightness, love, and compassion. Backbending and balancing.
