The Five Elements and Yoga

This event will run within regular class times for 5 weeks beginning Monday 26 April.

Each week, we will focus on one of the five elements; earth, water, fire, air, and space. This will create the theme for our yoga practice.

By working with the elements, we learn how to maintain good health and enjoy a long and fulfilling life based on higher awareness.
