In nature, there are five elements composing all life – earth, water, fire, air and space. These elements are the basis of all creation according to the ancient sciences of life, Ayurveda and Yoga. According to this holistic perspective, fluctuations in the delicate balance of these elements may result in disease-causing imbalance. Restoring balance of the elements is a primary goal in Ayurveda and Yoga for targeting the root cause of illness.
Purification of the five elements within the human body is known as Bhuta Shuddhi. It helps one achieve ultimate well-being of both the body and the mind. In this special workshop, Yogi Subhash Mohanty will help you understand the benefits of practicing this esoteric Yogic science through Yoga asanas, pranayama and kriyas. You’ll learn the authentic principles and be guided through each traditional practice, learning and healing with the ancient methods Vaidyas and sages have used for thousands of years.
