5 Elements and the Yoga Practice
Balancing the 5 elements through yoga
Sunday December 3, 2017
The Yoga Connection, 101 E. Market St., Smithfield, NC 27577
Within yogic philosophy the world is made up of Space/ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth. But does that mean those are the elements of the world?
What this means is that all things have these properties. Some things have more earth properties such as solid, steady, dense or hard, perseverance, and responsibility. Each of the elements has physical, behavioral and emotional aspects. When in balance these elements have a positive affect on our body and mind.
This workshop will use asana, pranayama, exploration of the bandhas, and meditation to explore the balancing of our body and mind through the properties of these elements.
