Effect of Yogic Practices with and without moderate physical activity on risk factors in middle-aged men

Affective responses, whether pleasurable or painful may ultimately lead to pain. 1.22.7 YOGIC CONCEPT OF PANCHAKOSHA The word 'panchakosha' (pancha+kosha) means five blocks, Sheaths or pockets. In Vedanta philosophy it indicates expression of individual soul through five sheaths (koshas). These sheaths are nothing but levels of existence of an individual. The atman (soul) is ever-shining consciousness, perfect and complete, having no limits and without beginning or end. However it illuminates through layers of these sheaths.

In yogic concept our body has a) Sthoola Sarira (Physical body) - Annamaya Kosha (The physical sheaths), b) Sukshuma Sarira (Astral body) - Pranamaya Kosha (The vital sheaths), - Manomaya Kosha (The mental sheaths), - Vijnanamaya Kosha (The Intellectual or Wisdom sheaths), and - Anandamaya Kosha (The blissful sheath),
