Yoga and Yoga Therapy must be understood from Yoga's paradigm of understanding the human system and not be based on modern medicine or science. This is because Modern medicine and modern science did not exist at the time of Patañjali, and hence it does not need rocket science to understand that Yoga's tools weren't based on these.

Patañjali's understanding of the human system was based on traditional Indian science. There are many classical models that are holistic and very accurate in their understanding of the human body.

One such model is the Pañcamaya model from the Taittirīya-upaniṣad, which explores the human being as a collection of five inter-connected dimensions. It is the most extraordinary model and is a very integral part of Yoga and Yoga Therapy.

In this set of five videos, we explore these different dimensions in a very basic and simple manner, suitable for beginners.

05 - Ānandamaya, the spiritual dimension.
