Annamaya Kosha
Hatha yoga asana, diet and nourishment, grounding and body-awareness; neti-neti discrimination — I am not this body.
The five sheaths are named in the Taittiriya Upanishad (2.1-5) without chakra or element assignments; the chakra and element columns here are the common modern yogic correlation, not the Upanishadic text.
