Learn Self-Awareness & Self-Regulation Through Choice & Connection in Elemental Ayurvedic Yoga Practice

Welcome to my Online Course- I am so glad you are here to Learn about the 5 Elements of Life!

We are going to learn how to connect to each of the 5 Elements in our Yoga Practice

                                                Earth - Water -  Fire - Air - Ether

Each Element will be studied & practiced individually and then combined for integrated practice.

Learning about the 5 Elements can be life-changing for so many reasons:

- Gain a deeper understanding of the Individual Elements that combine to create the Ayurvedic Doshas (Mind-Body Types)

- Gain a better understanding of yourself by building "Self Awareness" - "How do the 5 Elements show up in ME?"

- Strengthen the skill of "Self-Regulation" - making conscious choices that shift you toward BALANCE

- Gain the knowledge to build a personal practice that is tailored especially to YOUR needs

- Make informed choices about how to structure your practice to feel your BEST!

- Learn how each element connects to Yoga Philosophy (The Yamas & Niyamas)

Yoga Teachers & Yoga Therapists: 

- Transform the way you think about class sequencing & how the components of practice draw in the elements

- gain a new lens through which to understand your students & what they need to feel their best
