Elemental Yoga Alaro


  • Surya Yoga Alaro Mallorca (map)

Elemental Yoga (Mondays)

As each Element contains many facets and a myriad of ways to relate to it, we are going to take our time to explore the 5-Elements every Monday through the lens of Yoga. Each practice will contain the foundational experience of the Element with a slightly different focus or theme, journeying through the Yin and Yang expressions. In this way, you can explore the potential, the polarity and the depth of the Element from week to week. Sessions are suitable for beginners or advanced practitioners - modifications will be given where necessary. These sessions can also be modified for pregnant or postpartum women.

WHAT IS ELEMENTAL YOGA?

This form of yoga is a unique system that integrates the wisdom of Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Hatha Yoga into a holistic lifestyle practice both on and off the mat. Elemental Yoga uses gentle, physical postures, mudras, visualisations and affirmations to bring harmony to the 5-elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Space) within the body/mind constitution by strengthening, stretching and supporting the correlating elemental meridians. When we are constitutionally imbalanced, dis-ease can manifest mentally, emotionally and physically, until realignment of our elemental energies is addressed. This system of yoga empowers the individual to design a more specific yoga practice to therapeutically shift imbalances and to develop a closer relationship with nature, ultimately leading to a greater awareness of our own inner nature – perfect Yoga.


WHAT DOES YIN AND YANG MEAN RELATING TO THESE PRACTICES? 

This refers to the type of practice we will do together, where Yin is indicating a more passive practice focusing on flexibility, held poses, slower and more restorative. This is not classical Yin as many correlate the term with what is found in yoga studios, but is more of a description to describe the energy and pace. Yang refers to a more active practice that focuses on endurance, strength and dynamic poses. 


WHO IS THIS PRACTICE FOR?

This series is welcoming to beginners, advanced practitioners, men and women, and is also pregnant & postpartum friendly. Please indicate in the registration form if you have any particular limitations or injuries so that the classes can be modified for you.
