Maharishi Patanjali, the great expounder of yoga, has divided the human body into five parts:

• The Physical body
• The Vital body (Pranamayakos)
• The Mental body ( Manomayakos)
• The Consciousness body (Vigyanmayakos)
• The Spiritual body (Anandmayakos)

At Samatva Yogalaya, we teach you to practice yoga on two levels, that is, the Physical body and the Vital body. The simple equation we work on is not difficult to understand. Physical body + Vital body = Mental body which means that when we work on the Physical body and the Vital body together then we automatically begin the process that brings healing to the Mental body.
