Labor Day Workshop: 5 Elements Yoga

This two hour workshop will incorporate the five elements into the flow of the class, synchronizing earth (pruthivi), water (apas), fire (agni), wind (vayu), and ether (akasha) inspired asanas with music and colors that further invoke each elements qualities.

Ether is the spacious stillness within all asana or meditation, we will attend to the space element of the room through the set up of our mats and aesthetics to harmonize akasha. Earth inspired asanas, such as forward bends and hip openers, will relate to gravitational pull and emphasize stillness, stability and grounding force. Water based asanas will include fluid vinyasas, dancing warrior sequences, and curving movements such as backbends.

We will light our elemental fire with the generation of uddiyana banda, yogic prostrations (also known as yogi pushups), and twists (to stimulate digestive fire). The mobile quality of wind will flow us into balance poses. We hope you will join us for this invigorating flow into your elemental self!

Beginners and Advanced practitioners are welcome.
