Based on the teachings of Yoga, Ayurveda, and modern science the universe is made up of five great elements: air, water, fire, earth, and space. These elements offer their own qualities to our living experience and are the basis for our connection to the things around us.

Join Elizabeth this fall in an exploration of the elements and deepen your yoga and meditation practice and expand your teaching tool box.

The five elements are component parts of our daily life and are poured into everything we do. Including the practice of yoga and meditation. Yoga is a practice that travels out of a thought, feeling or intention to a movement in the body and returning back to enlightenment.

The five elements move just like this and are the basic ingredients that combine together, creating our minds, bodies, and experience in living. In this workshop series we will explore each of these elements to respect our connection with everything, and return back to our inner selves.

The Elemental Body Approach

is a lens to look at our layers of beingness and explore the tools to transform our human experience.

Air
This element involves lightness, movement, and expansion. The element of air gives you rhythm, grace, mobility, and an open mind. Infusing this element to yoga creates a focus on breathing. Breath control, or Pranayama, lets you open and touch your senses, leading a path of ideas, inspiration, and energy towards you.

Water
Representing fluidity, adaptability, and connection. It injects our practice with compassion and resilience that gives us fluid movement, steady joints, and an agile mind. Bringing water to your yoga invites softness to your sessions and transfers fluidity through your practice.

Fire
The fire element summons intensity and abundance along with discipline and inspiration. Lighting fire in your yoga will engage the bandhas with the core muscles and fires us up with a burning passion.

Earth
Earth is about being centered and is the expression of everything you do. Connecting this element to your yoga will boost support in your foundation (sitting bones, feet, hands). It focuses on maintaining awareness of how these positions and physical landmarks affect your experience in practice.

Space
It’s what holds everything up. Full of possibilities and potential. The space element in yoga consists of being present as well as bringing awareness to what you are sticking with; whether that’s an emotion or thought or tension that you need to let go of.

We naturally relate to one element more easily than others. In our yoga practice, we want to explore a balance of the elements to bring harmony to our life. Which element do you connect with more in your practice?  Join us in this intensive and experience the healing properties of bringing the elements into balance.
