Classes are designed to improve your intermediate yoga practice by challenging your stamina and pushing you towards learning more difficult poses.

The space element holds space for all the elements to co-exist, symbolizing the unity for harmony in the body and mind. As we float through this practice we will mindfully combine the qualities all the above 4 different elements that we practice in the previous practice into one flow to feel connected to all the different elements within ourselves.  Moving mindfully throughout the practice by being aware of how each element is supporting the other and how this combination is necessary to find harmony in our body. As we embody these qualities mindfully, it allows us to apply these five element principals in daily life to find harmony and live a balanced life. We will also work with a little bit of pranayama to bring awareness to the energetic body.
