Are you in your Element?

According to yoga and ayurveda everything is made up by a unique combination of five elements (the pancha mahabhutas). Us (our bodies and mind), the food we eat, the oil we use for massage, everything in nature…

space, air, fire, water and earth

When the elements are in balance in that specific combination which is unique to you, your partner, pet etc then we feel balanced, happy and healthy. But if a disturbance has happened we are prone to illness, imbalance, mood swings…

In ayurveda the goal is to stay true to our unique constitution. This is what is referred to as Prakruti.

Listen to your body, emotions and mental chatter. To your cravings and how they make you feel. If we are balanced our body will tell us exactly what we need right now.

Start to understand the five elements with the blogs to come. And get to understand which elements are more pronounced in your contribution and which ones might be out of balance.

You can also explore them in this series of online classes focusing on each one of the elements. One short class and a longer practise for Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space. A total of 10 classes as well as a short introduction video for each of element. See HERE for details.
