In this episode we discuss the five vayus, the directions of energy (or ‘winds’) that yogic philosophy says influence everything from your digestion to your sense of direction in life. We take a brief look at all five — prana, apana, samana, udana, and vyana — what each one governs, where it lives in the body, and why understanding them changes the way you think about your energy. But this is the overview episode — a tasting menu to whet your appetite - we’ll be coming back to each vayu individually for a proper deep dive in later podcasts.

Emma and Andy try to keep their podcasts light-hearted and unedited, wherever possible, allowing for a more natural conversation style and an authentic representation of their characters. They aim to provide information and entertainment by mixing their knowledge, research and personal experiences with debate and (occasional) opposing view points.  :-)
