Five elements

According to the ancient texts on yoga, every part of creation is composed of the five elements: earth, water, fire, air, and ether. Each of these elements affects the functioning of your body and mind. This five elements training teaches five creative yoga stories and five magic carpet relaxations based on each of the five elements. Through these five creative yoga stories and magic carpet relaxations, you will explore the nature of each of the five elements.

The Partner yoga poses, group poses, traditional yoga poses, breathing exercises, and chants integrated into each story create the experience of each element. Harmonizing your body and mind with the source of the five elements, you will share a glimpse of the unity inherent in all creation.

Partner poses

The partner poses allow the experience of mutual support and inspire people to spend time with their loved ones and go beyond daily roles. People may improve their relationships as they enhance physical and mental well-being. This innovative approach to the ancient art of yoga, full of creativity and joy, allows people of all ages to share a taste of the rasa or nectar inherent in yoga.

Important notice

Please note that although this TTC is usually offered in a group setting, sometimes Teressa Asencia also offers private TTC training in India. Group TTCs are more structured and tightly scheduled to ensure that all materials are presented in time to allow all participants to complete all categories.

Private training programs may be more flexible and valuable as Teressa is able to focus on the specific needs and future plans of the individual student as they complete all required categories. Please inquire with Teressa to confirm dates you are available and request your preference for group or private / semi-private or small group TTC.
