elemental living: the path to an awakened life

 

Step beyond the surface and deepen your yogic path through an immersive, elemental journey into the wisdom of Yoga and Ayurveda. This 50-hour advanced training is designed for teachers and dedicated practitioners seeking to explore the energetic foundations of life and consciousness through the lens of the Five Elements (Pancha Mahabhutas), the Maha Gunas (sattva, rajas, tamas), and the Vital Essences (ojas, tejas, prana).

Together, we will investigate the natural rhythms, frequencies, and vibrations that shape our bodies, minds, and spiritual evolution, not only as theory but through direct experience, skillful application, and embodied practice.

What You’ll Learn & Experience

  • The Five Elements & Their Interplay
    Understand Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether as the fundamental building blocks of existence. Through asana, breathwork, meditation, and ritual, you'll learn to recognize and balance these forces within yourself and your environment.

  • Maha Gunas: The Three Universal Qualities
    Discover how sattva (clarity), rajas (activity), and tamas (inertia) shape our perceptions, habits, and spiritual potential. You'll learn to observe their fluctuations and consciously cultivate balance and harmony.

  • Vital Essences: Ojas, Tejas, and Prana
    Explore the subtle forces that sustain health, vitality, and spiritual insight. You'll learn how to nourish ojas (immunity/stability), refine tejas (inner radiance), and awaken prana (intelligent and healing life force).

  • Chakras & Energetic Mechanics
    Dive deep into the chakra system as a map for spiritual evolution and a guide for energy management. Learn to perceive and influence energy through vibration, sound, and elemental alignment.

  • Guided Elemental Meditations & Rituals
    Meet the elements and universal forces through guided inner journeys designed to awaken intuitive insight, elemental connection, and inner clarity.

  • Ayurvedic Wisdom & Daily Living
    Study core Ayurvedic principles, including dosha theory, seasonal alignment, and Ayurvedic nutrition, with a special emphasis on elemental imbalances and holistic remedies.

  • Myth & Mantra for Elemental Integration
    Explore sacred stories and mantras connected to the elements, the chakras, and subtle forces. Myth invites us into deeper archetypal wisdom, while mantra uses sound as a tool for energetic alignment, healing, and spiritual clarity. Each element will be paired with meaningful myth and mantra practice to awaken embodied connection and insight.

  • Crystal & Frequency Work for Elemental Healing
    Learn how to use crystals, sound, and vibrational tools to align with elemental energies and enhance your energy healing or teaching practice.

  • Applied Practice & Leadership
    Develop skills to integrate these teachings into your classes, offerings, and personal practice. You’ll leave empowered to guide others in tuning into the elemental and energetic nature of being.

What Past Participants Say

“The Elemental Living class was a truly beautiful and transformative experience. Exploring Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether created an opportunity to connect mind, body, and spirit in a deeply meaningful and unique way. Beth and June, our leaders, created space to slow down, become more aware, and consider how the elements reflect in our bodies, emotions, relationships, energy, and everyday lives. I highly recommend this inspiring, grounding, and introspective offering.”

C.A., Elemental Living participant

“When I signed up for the elemental course, I wasn’t expecting it to have such a profound impact on not only my yoga practice but my life. Up until that point, I had very basic knowledge of Ayurvedic Traditions and my yoga practice was strictly a physical one. I signed up for the course as a way to gain a general understanding about the spiritual side of yoga. What I actually received was an abundance of knowledge, a new found sense of community, a massive amount of practical tools for everyday life and the building blocks for an unquenchable desire to continue to learn and grow on my own spiritual path well into the future. What a great way to spend a winter.”
