The Koshas
Swami Dayananda Saraswati
The yogic body goes beyond the physical and extends into more subtle layers of energy. Yoga says that each person has five distinct energy bodies or koshas, vibrating at different speeds.
The koshas serve both a guide for the deeper practices of yoga and as map for our journey. The path of yoga is one of progressively moving inward, through each of the koshas, to experience the radiance of the True Self.
