WHAT ARE KOSHAS?

Koshas are the five layers or sheaths that cover each one us, like layers of an onion. They represent different aspects of our being, from the physical body to the deepest level of blissful body. Understanding these layers and focusing on them helps you to work on different aspects of yourself to achieve overall well-being and inner peace.

Annamaya Kosha (Physical Layer)

This is your physical body, made of bones, muscles, and organs. It’s the layer that you can touch and see.

Pranamaya Kosha (Energy Layer)

This is your life force or energy body, which includes your breath and the energy that keeps you alive and active.

Manomaya Kosha (Mental and Emotions Layer)

This is your mind and emotions. It involves your thoughts, feelings, and the way you react to the world around you.

Vijnanamaya Kosha (Intellect Layer)

This layer is about your intellect and intuition. It helps you make decisions, understand things, and gain wisdom.

Anandamaya Kosha (Bliss Layer)

This is the deepest layer, representing pure joy and spiritual happiness. It’s the feeling of bliss that comes from being in touch with your true self.

    What people are saying

    “I have been practising yoga for about 3 years, but have been doing classes with Ramya for about 3-4 months now. Her teaching style is so very good. The manner in which she explains things is very clear and precise. Being online classes, this makes it so easy for me to follow her instructions. Another aspect that I really appreciate about her is that she always gives variations for every posture. This helps a lot, as each person is at a different level in their individual practice. She makes sure to give individual attention to each student guiding them based on their level of practice. Finally, the most important part that I like about her classes is that she pushes you to try postures that you thought you couldn’t do or were afraid to try. I personally have seen more progress in my practise in these few months compared to all my previous years. I am able to do some postures that I never even attempted before. I am really happy to have found Ramya as my teacher!” -Kim Lushington

    “I have been practicing yoga with Ramya and the journey has been completely enjoyable. Right from the start, she provides with tons of motivation. This encourages me to give my best everyday on the mat. She is a wonderful teacher who meticulously plans every class in such a way that, I always look forward for the set of postures she has for the day. Also, she allows us to explore our practice on our own and brings out the right alignments in postures gradually. I am deeply grateful to have Ramya as my Yoga Teacher, and my source of inspiration!“ – Vidya Muthulakshmi M

    “Yoga nurtures one physically, mentally and emotionally. It helps one in physical fitness, stress-relief and provides relaxation. But to experience the true benefits of Yoga, you need a good teacher who will help you to explore Yoga as a science that deals with body, breath, mind and soul. And Ramya is that teacher for you. I feel truly transformed day by day by practicing Yoga with Ramya. I am so grateful for her teachings which allows me to expand my physical, mental and emotional fitness along with providing me with deep relaxation.” – Abhishek Sharma

    “Having extensive knowledge about something is great but to be able to share and impart that knowledge methodically is an art. And I cannot say enough great things about Ramya’s Yoga classes and her teaching methodologies. Not only does Ramya teach the postures & guides you through them, but she also supports and helps you pick you from whichever level you are at! Her way of teaching with proper breathing techniques will help you understand your practice better. I adore her classes. I have been taking yoga classes before; but coming to Ramya’s classes has made me more passionate about Yoga. “ -Meenakshi Jain
    Anusha Mehta
    “Ramya is an extremely patient teacher and makes sure to explain each postures, the theory behind them, their importance and how Yoga impacts one’s body as well as the mind. She has a lovely demeanor, exuberates positivity and is someone who does not feel insecure in sharing her knowledge of Yoga practice. Her own practice seems effortless and she dwells into her poses like a dream. She is teacher inside the class but outside the class she has the warmth of a long lost friend. I consider myself lucky to know someone like her through yoga. -Anusha Mehta
