Restorative Yoga & The Five Elements

A Journey Through the Tanmatras and Maha Bhutas

According to the yogic and tantric traditions, the human body is a microcosm of the universe itself.

The same forces that shape the stars, oceans, mountains, forests, and skies are also present within us. Known as the Maha Bhutas, Space, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth, these five great elements form the building blocks of all manifested existence. They are not simply concepts found in nature, they live within our bodies, minds, emotions, and energetic systems, influencing how we move, think, feel, communicate, digest, create, rest, and relate to the world around us.

When the elements are in harmony, we often experience a sense of vitality, clarity, groundedness, emotional balance, and connection. When they become excessive, depleted, or out of balance, we may notice this reflected in our physical health, emotional wellbeing, energy levels, relationships, or overall sense of ease in life.

This special 2 hour Restorative Yoga Workshop invites you into a deeply embodied exploration of the five elements through the wisdom of the Tanmatras, the subtle sensory qualities associated with each element.
