The Mahabhutas: 5 Great Elements from a Yoga Perspective
with Melinda Thomas
Saturday, April 23, 2022
9-12 Pacific
12-3 Eastern
5-8pm Ireland/UK time
Program Description
Space. Earth. Water. Fire. Air. These five elements make up the Mahabhutas and the fabric of our physical existence. Each element holds its own qualities that relate to our physicality, mind, emotions, and spirit. Working with the elements from a yogic and contemplative perspective holds the power to enrich our lives with a deep sense of connection to nature, to ourselves, and to the divine.
Drawing from yogic wisdom, we will explore the physical, energetic, and spiritual qualities of each element. Through discussion, embodied meditation, journaling, and a yoga practice we will connect with the elements as companions and wise guides that offer invitations to a wild, grounded, fluid, spacious experience of incarnation.
No prior yoga background necessary. All bodies welcome.
The retreat will be recorded for those who pre-register but are unable to attend at the scheduled time.
