Yoga, Ayurveda, and the 5 Elements

Jan 9, 2025 - Feb 13, 2025
$ 15.00 per class $ 72.00 for entire series

Thursdays 5:45-7:00pm
This is a 6 week series that can be taken altogether to get a comprehensive understanding and implementation of the 5 Elements in Ayurveda & Yoga. You can also pick and choose which classes you would like to participate in; however, it is recommended that you take the first class if you are fairly new to Ayurveda.

Introduction to Ayurveda, the 5 Elements, and the Doshas.

- Find out your unique constitution - the ratio and balance of the doshas in your body.

Weeks 2-6, we will be honoring one of the 5 elements: ether, air, fire, water, and earth.
In each class we will begin with a 15 minute introduction followed by a 60 minute yoga class. Our goal is to understand the Gunas, or qualities, associated with each element and how to balance your Doshas. (When there is an imbalance, this can cause numerous physical and mental health afflictions.)
• Week 2. Jan. 16th: Ether - Related to Vata / Balancing Pitta & Kapha

• Week 4. Jan. 30th: Fire - Related to Pitta / Balancing Vata and Kapha

Customer Reviews

“Abbey’s classes are such an inspiration to me that always leads me back to her! There is something so special about her voice that just calms you. I feel like a part of me is missing when I don’t get my morning yoga class in. I am more content, happier and fulfilled. I always try and remember Abbey’s words of ‘respectful communication’!”

Lizette

“Abbey Garcia is the BEST yoga instructor in the Upstate (or probably anywhere). I’ve practiced with her for nearly 4 years. Practicing with Abbey has helped me improve my overall body strength as well as maintain my balance both physically and in life emotionally. Abbey excels at instruction and she creates a unique environment for each class that keeps me focused and mindful during each pose for maximum benefit. Her words at the end of each practice give me closure to class but also thoughts to carry throughout my day. Abbey is creative, helpful, patient, accepting, friendly and kind. I look forward to every yoga class with Abbey.”

Heidi

“We have found new friends directly because of yoga. Some of these friendships are the kind to cherish, lifetime ones!”

Nick

“As moms, life can get hectic and so being able to take a breath and connect with myself and my friends is a real treat for us! It’s a reset. Just talking about it makes me want to go to yoga right now.”

Ruth & Jenny

“You know those yoga classes that are everything you need them to be? Like if you could’ve created your ideal class? And it’s almost euphoric? Elizabeth’s class was that for me! It was magical. I haven’t had one quite like that in YEARS. I’m still riding a high from it. Thank you so, so much!”
