KNOW ABOUT KOSHAS
At our spa, we go beyond surface-level relaxation by embracing ancient wisdom to nurture your whole being. One such powerful concept is the 5 Koshas, derived from yogic philosophy. The word “kosha” means “sheath” or “layer,” and it represents the five layers of our existence — from the physical body to the deepest spiritual core. Understanding these layers can help enhance your spa experience by promoting harmony, balance, and inner peace.
Annamaya kosha is the outermost layer of the five koshas, or "sheaths," that make up a person's existence. It's also known as the "food sheath" or "gross physical body" and is associated with the earth element.
Pranamaya means composed of prana, the vital principle, the force that vitalizes and holds together the body and the mind. It pervades the whole organism, its one physical manifestation is the breath.
Manomaya means composed of manas or mind. The mind, along with the five sensory organs, is said to constitute the manomaya kosa. The manomaya kosa, or "mind-sheath" is said more truly to approximate to personhood.
Vijñānamaya means composed of vijñāna, or intellect, the faculty which discriminates, determines or wills. Chattampi Swamikal defines vijñānamaya as the combination of intellect and the five sense organs.
Anandamaya means composed of ananda, or bliss; it is the subtlest of the five koshas. In deep sleep, when the mind and senses cease functioning, it still stands between the finite world and the self.
