Prāṇa in Motion
Seminar on the 5 Vāyus of Yoga with Monica

Prāṇa is the force that keeps you alive.
It is not just the breath you feel: it is the energy that makes your heart beat, digests your food, moves your arms, enables you to think and listen. Without Prāṇa, nothing works. In Yoga, working on Prāṇa means working on life itself.

Prāṇa is divided into 5 main movements, called Vāyu (literally ‘winds’). Each has a specific name and function:

. Prāṇa (in the chest, governs inhalation, the voice, and reception)

. Apāna (in the lower abdomen, governs elimination, grounding, release)

. Samāna (in the abdomen, governs digestion, assimilation, balance);

. Udāna (in the throat and head, governs expression, growth, elevation);

. Vyāna (throughout the body, governs circulation, connection, movement).

When these five movements are in balance, you feel full of vitality, centred and clear-minded. When they become scattered or blocked, fatigue, confusion and tension set in.

‘yathā samrāḍ evādhikṛtān viniyunkte…
evam evaiṣa prāṇa itarān prāṇān
pṛthak pṛthag eva sannidhatte’
Praśna Upaniṣad, III.4

‘Just as an emperor assigns tasks to his officials, so the principal Prāṇa distributes the other prāṇas, each to its proper place.’

Prāṇa is the director. The five Vāyu are the actors. Understanding them means learning to direct energy rather than being at the mercy of its imbalances.

This seminar is a practical experience: not abstract theory, but concrete tools for sensing Prāṇa in the body, recognising its movements and learning to balance them through asanas, pranayama and meditation.

Programme:
. 45 mins Theory – What are the Vāyu, their directions, functions and examples
. 60 mins Practice – Asanas and
. 45 mins Prāṇāyāma and Meditation

A space to learn to listen to the subtle movements of the body and restore energetic balance before the new season begins.

Fee:
€20 → for members
€30 → for non-members

Prāṇa in Movimento
Seminario sui 5 Vāyu dello Yoga con Monica

Il Prāṇa è la forza che ti tiene in vita.
Non è solo il respiro che senti: è l’energia che fa battere il cuore, digerire il cibo, muovere le braccia, pensare, ascoltare. Senza Prāṇa, nulla funziona. Nello Yoga, lavorare sul Prāṇa significa lavorare sulla vita stessa.

Il Prāṇa si divide in 5 movimenti principali, chiamati Vāyu (letteralmente “venti”). Ognuno ha un nome e un compito specifico:

. Prāṇa (nel torace, governa inspirazione, voce, ricezione)

. Apāna (nel basso ventre, governa eliminazione, radicamento, rilascio)

. Samāna (nell’addome, governa digestione, assimilazione, equilibrio);

. Udāna (nella gola e testa, governa espressione, crescita, elevazione);

. Vyāna (in tutto il corpo, governa circolazione, connessione, movimento).

Quando questi 5 movimenti sono in equilibrio, ti senti vitale, centrato, chiaro. Quando si disperdono o si bloccano, arriva stanchezza, confusione, tensione.

«yathā samrāḍ evādhikṛtān viniyunkte…
evam evaiṣa prāṇa itarān prāṇān
pṛthak pṛthag eva sannidhatte»
Praśna Upaniṣad, III.4

“Come un imperatore assegna compiti ai suoi funzionari, così il Prāṇa principale distribuisce gli altri prāṇa, ciascuno al proprio posto.”

Il Prāṇa è il regista. I 5 Vāyu sono gli attori. Conoscerli significa imparare a dirigere l’energia invece di subirne gli squilibri.

Questo seminario è un’esperienza pratica: non teoria astratta, ma strumenti concreti per sentire il Prāṇa nel corpo, riconoscerne i movimenti e imparare a bilanciarli attraverso asana, pranayama e meditazione.

Programma:
. 45 min Teoria – Cosa sono i Vāyu, direzioni, funzioni, esempi
. 60 min Pratica – Asana e
. 45 min Prāṇāyāma e Meditazione

Uno spazio per imparare ad ascoltare i movimenti sottili del corpo e ritrovare un equilibrio energetico prima di affrontare la nuova stagione.

This seminar, suitable for both beginners and acting enthusiasts eager to refine their existing skills, begins with instruction in the Sanskrit alphabet and culminates in an exploration of the ten golden rules that govern it, as applied to the most famous and meaningful mantras from the Indian literary tradition.
