According to Ayurveda, five elements play a vital role in the well-being of an individual. The five elements of nature are air, fire, earth, space, and water. These elements are also present in an individual and when they get disrupted, one can experience mental, physical, emotional and/or spiritual imbalance. To manifest these elements back to your mind, body and soul, the programme aims on starting from the earth element and finally reaching the space element. The practice of yoga and meditation will balance and harmonise them. Immerse yourself in guided visualization, mindfulness, and pranayama with the guidance of certified instructors for mindfulness, inner peace, and calmness.
