What is Elemental Yoga?

Elemental Yoga is the embodiment of Nature through movement, meditation and nutrition. It is not based on one asana style or philosophy, but rather combines ancient wisdom while working with the 5 Elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Spirit/Ether) A holistic practice founded on Tantric Hatha principles, yet encompassing various styles (such as Kundalini and Vinyasa) and including various ancient natural medicines (Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda and Zen Shiatsu). The Elemental approach allows us to explore the wisdom of Nature while exploring our inner climate and restoring ourselves to natural balance. By harmonizing the 5 Elements and yin/yang energy within us, we can find a natural rhythm that aligns with Nature's cycles and our most authentic Self. 

Elemental yoga is all about feeling your own energy and what affects it. It's about listening to your body, knowing your limits and practicing self-compassion. It emphasises trusting your own natural wisdom and has the potential to be deeply therapeutic. A healing experience that balances the elements to stabilise the mind and strengthen our relationship to ourselves. A practice that turns into our own inner medicine. In short: a magical system of moving energy, healing and harmonizing that allows us to reconnect to ourselves and Mother Nature. But the best way to truly understand what Elemental Yoga is, is to try it!

​

Whether you are recovering from illness or a period of intense stress, feeling out of balance or disconnected to yourself, or just looking for a week to recharge, relax and be present with the beauty that is life, come join us to get back into your element!

Your Yoga Week

During your stay with us you will have plenty of opportunities to deepen your practice. We offer yoga sessions daily; the morning classes are more energetic, yang strengthening while the afternoon classes are gentle yin or meditation. Throughout the week we will move through the five elements. Starting with the element of earth for a sense of grounding and inner stability, flowing through water to connect to emotions and stillness, fire for core work and courage, embracing air to let go of what no longer serves and finally spirit for trust and acceptance. The week will end with a five element balancing class and shared advice about how to incorporate elemental yoga at home - including seasonal attunement and recipes. 

​

We welcome yogis of all levels, no previous yoga or meditation experience is necessary. Materials for classes are provided, bringing your own mat is optional. Really all you need is comfy clothing and a smile!

10-Day Elemental Immersion

Nepi, Italy 

​

1 - 10 August    

​

This summer we want to offer you an Elemental Yoga Retreat with more. More magic, more healing, more movement, more practice, more laughter, more delicious food,  more connection, more love, more depth! This longer immersion combines a relaxing yoga retreat with a meaningful training and deepening of natural self-healing. In addition to our usual offerings- daily yoga, meditation, workshops and excursions- we will be going much deeper into  Elemental theory and practices. Journeying through the five elements- Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Spirit- we will dedicate two days to explore the medicine of each Element in detail. Truly experiencing and learning about the qualities, nutrition, seasonal attunement, chakras, meridians and healing practices that each Element offers. This retreat is about diving deep into Mother Nature's wisdom and getting to know your own medicine woman/man! And for even more personal depth, it also includes a complimentary private session and a guidebook to learn more about your Elements and how you can apply this natural wisdom to your daily life. Whether you have done an Elemental Retreat before, or this is your first interaction with the Elements, you can expect a magical, insightful and profoundly healing experience.

We look forward to nurturing you and diving into new depths together!
