Yoga & the 5 Elements

Two Anusara Yoga workshops with Jayendra Hanley.

Workshops

Everything in nature is made up of 5 basic elements: earth, water, fire, air and space. The 5 Universal Principles of Alignment of Anusara yoga give us a powerful way to know the elements in our bodies, our minds, and our hearts, and to transform our practice in a deep, healthy, therapeutic way. This is a mixed level workshops: all yoga students are warmly invited.

The Sessions

10:00 – 12:45: An introduction to the 5 elements and the Principles of Alignment through an active practice of Surya Namaskar, Standing Poses, Handstand, and Backbends.

14:15 – 17:00: Going deeper into it all with a practice of hip-openers, forward bends and twists, concluding with pranayama and meditation.
