Intensive Workshop of Iyengar Yoga in Merida with Jñanan Dakini: Movement within the 5 Elements: Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Space

The elements of earth, water, air, fire and space should be present in all the asanas but the proportions vary, depending on the posture and the needs of the individual. In order that each asana may shine, these elements must be integrated into our practice with attention and creativity. Working in a state of serenity, generosity and receptivity, and using the cognitive possibilities of both cerebral hemispheres - reason and intuition, the sun and the moon, an asana can lend its healing powers to our physical, mental and emotional being.

Friday Jan 29, 2010 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Saturday Jan. 30, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m and from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
