http://ezinearticles.com/?Yoga-and-Personality-Development&id=163126"As per Yoga the human body consists of five sheaths or layers. They are:
- Conscious physical sheath (Annayama Kosha)
- Subconscious physical sheath (Pranamaya Kosha)
- Mental sheath (Manomaya Kosha)
- Intellectual Sheath (Vigyanmaya Kosha)
- Blissful sheath (Anandamaya Kosha)
The Annamaya Kosha is related to our conscious physical deeps including
walking, talking, viewing and other such functions. These are the functions that
we perform using our physical body deliberately.The Pranamaya Kosha deals with physical activities that we do in subconscious
state. Digestion, movement of the heart and lungs fall in this category. We
never do any deliberate efforts for these actions; still the body knows how to
perform them.The Maniomaya Kosha deals with mind, emotions and thoughts. All our gross
thinking and emotions fall in this category.Intellect is that faculty that decides what is good and what is bad. It is
the ability for rational thought or inference or discrimination. The Vigyanmaya
Kosha helps us to identify true from false. We can choose the correct path in
this "maya" filled world with the help of nourished Vigyanmaya Kosha.Anandamaya Kosha or bliss is a pure state of happiness and joy which is
beyond any material pleasure. Samadhi or deep meditation gives such a joy.The Anandamaya Kosha is the innermost sheath wrapped by other sheaths in
succession."Physical And Psychosocial Outcomes Of Yoga

Although the most signficant body of literature related to yoga practice documents the cardio-pulmonary benefits associated with participation, strong evidence also documents improvements in metabolic profiles and in upper extremity strength. A small but remarkable body of evidence documents improvements in cognitive function in children and adolescents who practice yoga. There is surprisingly little written in the research literature regarding the impact of yoga practice on flexibility and balance."
