Pancha Kosha in Practice: Applying Ancient Wisdom in Yoga Therapy

Yoga Psychology, Yoga Therapy

The Pancha Kosha (Five Sheaths) model, rooted in the Taittiriya Upanishad, offers a profound lens for understanding the multidimensional nature of human health. It teaches that well-being isn’t simply the absence of symptoms—but harmony across five...

I taught Sivananda yoga for 25 years, helping some 5000 students, yet these ladies taught me how to regulate my breathing to avoid over-extending the belly; modify my posture to reduce 'Buddha-belly'; taught me how to extend the rib-cage length-wise as well as sideways (thereby eliminating pain under a lower rib); how to massage the fascia and open Vagus nerve and lymph; how to work all belly muscles, not just diaphragm; how to see layers inside my body I was not acquainted with; and even to massage the groin to increase mobility in the hip. Also to stop worrying over-much about CO2, and instead learn to use it, and N2O. A breathing workshop turned into an easy full-body adjustment, tip to toe, inside and out, completely soothing to the mind and pranamayakosha. I have much gratitude for renewed life for this nearly-70-year old.

I just took a lecture with Lana and Nadia and it was honestly one of the best lectures I've ever had. Their combination of deep knowledge and living the practices taught me so much and was so inspiring. Their understanding of the body and how to heal it clearly comes from years and years of hard work. What they offer is so valuable and so difficult to find. I'm definitely signing up for one of their longer courses. Thank you again to Lana and Nadia for all your efforts and for sharing such a variable treasure with us.

I was lucky to attend Narayani’s Inner Balance training in Kerala recently and I have only praise for their work! The training was a perfect blend of theory and practice. I came home with lots of new tools and ideas for myself and my students. Also, they are both so empathetic and kind. If you have a chance, I highly recommend working with Narayani!

At Narayani, we believe wellness isn’t only someth At Narayani, we believe wellness isn’t only something we practice on the mat. It’s something we learn to live. 🌿🧗‍♀️

We took on a Via Ferrata — climbing through the mountains, navigating rock faces, crossing exposed sections, and trusting each step.

It challenged us to be fully present.
To breathe through uncertainty.
To listen to the body.
To stay grounded while moving beyond what feels familiar.
And to support one another along the way.

These are the same qualities we cultivate through yoga: awareness, resilience, connection, breath, and the ability to meet each moment with presence.

For us, wellbeing isn’t about staying comfortable all the time. It’s about developing the inner resources to meet life with curiosity, courage, and connection.

Sometimes, the path upward is also a path inward. 🌿⛰️

What helps you step beyond your comfort zone and reconnect with yourself?

Did you know the WHO classifies yoga therapy under Did you know the WHO classifies yoga therapy under Traditional, Complementary and Integrative Medicine (TCIM)? 🌿

But what does that actually mean for you?

It doesn’t mean yoga therapy is outside healthcare. Complementary refers to approaches that may be used in addition to conventional medical care, rather than as a replacement for diagnosis or treatment when medical care is needed.

Yoga therapy brings a whole-person perspective—working with the body, breath, nervous system, mind, and lifestyle alongside appropriate healthcare.

So why is it classified this way, and why might “alternative” be a misleading label?

For three days, we stepped away from the noise and For three days, we stepped away from the noise and backpacked into the wilderness. 🌿🏕️

No rush. No distractions. Just the rhythm of our footsteps, the open sky, and the quiet intelligence of nature.

We immersed ourselves in the five elements — Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space — reconnecting with the natural world and with the part of ourselves that often gets forgotten in daily life.

Making space for stillness, presence, and connection.

In nature, we don’t need to search so hard for balance. Sometimes we simply need to step outside, slow down, and remember that we are part of nature—not separate from it.

Back to nature. Back to ourselves.

Self Vagus Nerve Reset: Working with 7 Levels of C Self Vagus Nerve Reset: Working with 7 Levels of Compression

During the workshop, we explored how areas of compression and tension in the body can influence the way we breathe, move and experience stress.

Through gentle self-release techniques, mindful movement and conscious breathing, participants learned to identify areas of holding, release unnecessary tension and create more space for ease in the body and breath.

Simple tools to support greater body awareness, freer movement and nervous system regulation.

FAQ

Is yoga therapy available virtually or only in person?

Yoga therapy is available both online and in person.

I offer a limited number of in-person sessions, while online sessions provide greater flexibility and accessibility.

If you prefer in-person work but no slots are currently available, you are welcome to begin online sessions in the meantime. I can also add you to the waitlist for in-person availability.

Does my private health insurance cover your services?

Y

Yes. As registered members of The RITMA Complementary Medicine Association, most yoga therapy sessions may be covered under Complementary Medicine or Naturotherapy, depending on your insurance provider.

Integrative BodyMind Therapy sessions are typically covered under the standard Massage Therapy category.

After your session, I can provide an insurance receipt to support your reimbursement claim. Please let me know at the time of your appointment if you require one.

Coverage varies between providers and plans, so I recommend checking directly with your insurance company to confirm your specific benefits.
