Every creation including our physical body is made up of the Pañca Bhūtas: Pṛithvi ( earth), Ap (Water), Tejas (fire), Vāyu (air) & Ākāśā (space). These elements have different characteristics and these also account for different faculties of human experience. Let us try to explore & connect to each of these elements through practice: moving from the gross to the subtle through Asana, Pranayama & Dharana.
Week 1 Pṛithvi – is the element of earth and is responsible for structure and bulk of the
material.
Week 2 Ap – is the element of water and is essential for the sustenance of life.
Week 3 Tejas – is the fire element responsible for energy or heat.
Week 4 Vāyu – Air is responsible for movement of all types and is vital for the existence of all living beings.
Week 5. Ākāśā – Space is an omnipresent and all-pervading element.
