Check out this short video I made explaining why I am using the elements (earth, water, fire, air) as a theme for this years Sessions! As there are many traditions that use elements in various ways, I use a very earth based tradition and a simple understanding of the elements.
Transcript of the video:
Hello. Today I talk to you about the elements; earth water fire and air and why am using this topic over the next year to bring my movement practices to you. Now before you go hanging up and deciding that this is a little too energy, too yoga just hear me out for one moment.
The elements relate to the cycles and rhythms of the year, the seasons. Air is related to spring, fire to summer, water to fall and earth to winter. When you work in the cycles and rhythms you have the opportunity to slow down. Now, I don't know about you but I personally myself and trying to become a better human and when I look at my laundry list of how to become a better human it gets a little long and daunting, you just don't know where to start sometimes. When you work with the cycles and rhythms of the elements, of the seasons, even going to the extent of astrology and numerology, you can take this opportunity to slow these lessons down, get a focus on one thing at a time. For instance this spring we are working with the element of air and the air is related to mind.
Now my mind is a very fast mind and I always can work a little bit harder and a little bit more at trying to understand it, trying to figure it out, trying to just be with it and that's what we're going to be doing this spring, playing with the mind and the rhythms that it brings us. I hope you join me, classes start tomorrow but we are also going to be doing another class set after April, so check out the website and I hope to see you soon thank you.
