Vastu for Yoga
The foundation of Vastu Shastra lies in the Yogshastra. Every Vastu according to VastuShstra is considered as a living entity and the essence of this connection lies in the fact that "Breathe" that is of the essential elements of Yogasahtra has a deep connection with the concept of the flow of the positive energy that is the basic principle of Vastu Shatra.
One can easily relate each and every principle of Yoga to the principle of Vastu. Somewhere both of these principles are two sides of the same coin. The basic elements of Vastu called as Panch-Maha-Bhutas are also studied in the Yogashatra. In the science of vastu the affects of these five elements- water, fire, space, wind and Earth are combined to understand the effect of the various directions that are related to building a home/office or any other physical establishment.
Any type of Vastu flaws or doshas can be treated with the help of various aspects of yogic practices including Ida' or 'Chandra Nadi' and 'Pingala' or 'Surya Nadi'. In Vastu Shastra these aspects are related to two stream theory called as Jaivik Urja and Pranik Urja.
