This is yoga: the union of the conscious physical substance you are with the abiding nature of reality.
Yoga Class Descriptions
All of the yoga classes offered at Five Element are rooted in the tradition of ayurveda. The postures are sequenced and carried out in a way that balances the five subtle elements in the body (earth, water, fire, air and space). Practicing in this way ensures the health and resilience of the body.
In addition to the posture practice we also practice breath-work, Vedic chanting and meditation. We discuss yogic philosophy which deepens and enriches our purpose and intention as we do our personal work. Far from just a physical workout or a brief time of shutting out our worries, these classes offer the chance to move toward wholeness in a deep and real way.

Private Yoga Sessions
Every person is unique. At times, a class setting does not fully resolve individual imbalances and pain issues. Private Sessions are available for people seeking more specialized instruction. The session can be used by people new to yoga to work with the fundamentals before entering a class setting. Sessions can also be designed to create an individual routine to address chronic pain issues and balance health conditions.
