Five Elements Yoga

Sunday, October 10 ~ 12:00 - 2:00 PM ~ Cost: $40

The Spirit of Yoga, 525 East Gay Street, West Chester, PA 19380

5 Element Yoga is soil for cultivating a living experience of the elements within our selves. The elements are the building blocks of our body, energy, constitution, and everything in the universe. When our internal elements are balanced, we are in harmony with the changing seasons and natural world. When our elements are out of balance, we feel our equilibrium is disrupted, run-down, and our poise lacking. Balancing the elements with yoga allows our natural constitutions to come into perfect equilibrium so that we may enjoy increased health, happiness, and inner peace.

This program is intended for you to deepen your yoga practice as a potent tool for beginners, experienced yoga students, yoga teachers, and healers. Drawing from Ayurvedic and Yogic traditions, we will explore the 5 Elements and their corresponding chakras, earth, water, fire, air and ether with our practice of yoga posture, breath, mudra meditation and deep guided relaxation, Yoga Nidra. Bring your elements into balance to awaken and cultivate your innate vitality in all levels of mind, body, and spirit.

  • Transform tightness into abundant and flowing energy

  • Learn to breathe your full capacity

  • Nurture stillness and peace within

  • Cultivate health, wellness, and illness prevention

  • Increase self knowledge at the basic and profound elemental level

  • Develop qualities of the elements: Ground, flow, transform, breathe, and expand

With the insight of the 5 Elements discover and unleash your true Self.

Kirtan with Steven and Sarah

Tickets are $15 in advance, $18 at the door

The Spirit of Yoga

525 East Gay Street, West Chester, PA 19380

 

View the Kirtan Flyer

Sarah Halley attended her first kirtan 10 years ago and fell instantly in love with the practice. She has been chanting ever since.

Steven Groff has been in various kirtan groups as musician and vocalist. He is passionate about chanting and has been singing in yoga classes and leading kirtan the last 5 years.

Together, Steven and Sarah have an energetic and inviting style of kirtan. They combine modern rhythms  with ancient mantras for this shared prayerful experience. Frequently the kirtans are done as fund raisers in an event called Chant, Chai, and Charity. Steven introduced this nearly 5 years ago. As much as they love kirtan, they agree that the impact of chanting in community, combined with service and charity is even more powerful.
