The 5 Elements and Yoga
In Ayurvedic philosophy (springing forth from the same roots as yoga) are Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether (light, life, consciousness, space). They are found in all aspects of life and in all things. They are wonderful to explore both physically, mentally and spiritually while in the asanas (postures).
Interestingly, many other cultures integrate a concept of the 5 Elements, such as the Celtic tradition and the Chinese (although slightly different: wood, fire, earth, metal and water). Not much is actually written about the 5 Elements in Yoga, but they are believed to be represented in the first 5 chakras (energy centres or “wheels of light”), climbing in order from the root chakra to the throat chakra.
Over this week we will work with the Five Elements using Vinyasa Flowing Yoga, Yin (a restorative type of yoga), Partners yoga, Acro, Pranayama, Chants and Meditations to bring awareness and balance to every cell. We think this is the perfect location for a playful, relaxing and enjoyable retreat.
