Welcome to "Kosha: A Journey to Wholeness"! In this six-week online course, we will embark on a transformative journey to deepen our understanding and experience of the five kosha, the layers or sheaths that constitute our human being.

The concept of kosha originates from ancient yogic philosophy, which recognizes that human beings are multidimensional entities comprising physical, energetic, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects. These koshas provide a framework for exploring the various dimensions of our existence and offer insights into our overall well-being and self-realization.

Throughout this course, we will dive into each of the classical five kosha individually, exploring their unique qualities, functions, and interconnections. We will delve into the physical body, the energy body, the mental-emotional body, the wisdom body, and the bliss body, uncovering the profound wisdom and potential for growth that lies within each layer. We will also add one more kosha, which Harshada calls the Karmamayakosha - the layer of our outer life which is inseparable from the others.

The kosha are:

• annamayakosha - the physical body
• pranamayakosha - the life force body
• manamayakosha - the surface mind body
• vijnanamayakosha - the deep mind body
• anandamayakosha - the bliss body
• karmamayakosha - our outer world body

By gaining a comprehensive understanding of the six kosha, we will learn how to navigate our inner landscapes, identify areas of imbalance or disharmony, and develop practices to cultivate greater wholeness, vitality, and self-awareness, and learn how to connect our inner work to our outer life.

Through a combination of weekly masterclasses, guided meditations, self-reflection exercises, and practical tools, we will embark on a transformative journey that will awaken our true potential and enhance our overall well-being.

Whether you are a yoga practitioner, a wellness enthusiast, or simply someone seeking a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you, this course will provide you with invaluable tools and insights to support your personal growth and inner exploration. It is designed to be accessible to individuals of all levels, from beginners to experienced practitioners, and can be adapted to fit into your unique schedule and pace.

Let us begin this profound exploration of our inner landscape and uncover the layers that make us whole

*a note about kosha vs koshas: Plural Sanskrit nouns don't have an s on the end. We do it commonly when we use Sanskrit in English; chakras, mantras, sutrās, etc. It is a little awkward, but for the sake of accuracy and also to give a fresh perspective, I will drop the s on the plural kosha. Out of habit, you will see me using the s for other plural nouns such as Sādhakas etc.
