Week 1 - Intro to the Wisdom of Nature
Nature has the ability to pause our busy minds, to stop us in our tracks and show us that magic and beauty is all around. We intrinsically know nature is good for us and when we allow it in, it has the power to open our hearts and nourish our souls. This week’s classes will be an introduction to the program, the five elements, the way they interact with one another and within us, and how nature can show us the way home.

Week 2 - Practice, Pause & Pace (Earth)
The Earth element helps us to feel stable and rooted, grounded in our own inner knowing and self-confidence. During this week we will use the breath as a way to relax the body, we will practice poses that allow us to feel deeply rooted like a big old oak tree and then able to brave all sorts of storms and struggles and we will explore how we can bring these qualities into everyday life.
-
Week 3 - Resilience & Grace (Water)
The water element can be strong, yet soft and fluid and teach us to recognise the resilience, grace and flow that lives within us naturally. Our physical practice will be all about fluid movements, oceanic breath and tapping into our emotional bodies so we can honour our intuition and follow our passions in life.

Week 4 - Growth & Change (Fire)
Fire brings radiance, transformation and ultimately growth and change. During this week we will explore poses and breath work that strengthen our core and create internal heat so we can tap into our innate qualities of compassion, joyfulness, and enthusiasm.
-
Week 5 - Perspective & Appreciation (Wind)
Clear communication, self-expression and love are all associated with the wind element in yoga. Here we will focus on how we can gain perspective on our thoughts, emotions and ultimately on our actions, decision making and how we move forward in life. This week we will use balanced breathing and heart opening sequences that connect us to the inner delight, freedom, positivity, and wisdom that lives inside us.

Week 6 - Magic in Every Moment (Space)
Often the busyness of life makes us lose sight of the magic and wonder that is all around us and within us, we forget that it’s a small miracle that you and I even exist. We will conclude our program with an exploration of space that contains all the other elements, is the source of our intuition and higher wisdom and power, the light within that is our true nature. I will also share with you tangible, take-home practices that you can use on and off your mat.
