Universe or Cosmos? The word ‘universe’ refers to everything that exists: time, space, matter and the laws that govern them while inferring chaos. The word ‘cosmos’ also refers to everything that exists and is considered (by astronomers) to be bigger (universes within the cosmos) yet implies a system of harmony and order, fully governed by natural laws.

The timeless and sacred teachings of yoga, of tantra, of ayurveda affirm that indeed, we dwell in a cosmos of exquisite design and infinite intelligence and our health, happiness and ultimate expression of well-being is found through alignment with the natural world.

This 300 hour YTT module is a week-end long experiential immersion into the five great Tattvas (elements of nature) as manifest on earth and in our bodies and pranayama, not only as a means of controlling and working with our breath, but also as the voice of soul, of living prayer.

Learning Objectives:
  • The 5 great Tattvas, or pancha bhutas as the basic building blocks of the cosmos
  • How to work with the pancha bhutas as manifest in the body through asana, kriya and flow
  • The wisdom of pranayama and the expression of soul, through breath
  • Foundational pranayama techniques for healing, health and well-being
  • How to apply these teachings in your practice and life
