Yoga4stiff People James Gray C. What a great question, and I am going to answer it here, but maybe later on Angela might have other things to say.... When I first learned yoga, I only learned the bandhas and never talked about vayus to my students because I did not understand them at first. I also have rarely heard teachers talk about vayus in a class, but this does not mean that you should not do it, I just feel that we have been conditioned as yoga teachers to talk about the bandhas more than the vayus, but I think you could begin changing that. I think introducing the Vayus first is a great way to help students understand how energy moves through the body. You could start with simple, relatable experiences, something like noticing the breath moving in and out, the grounding sensation of the feet, the upward lift of the spine, or the energy of reaching and expanding. From there, you can gradually introduce the Bandhas as a way of creating support, stability, and awareness. I would keep both concepts experiential rather than overly technical, especially with newer students. I hope this helps!!
