Kunga 5Elements Flow Yoga + Ayurveda Teacher Training, Blacksburg

with Nicole Fitzwater, ERYT500 & Noelle Whittington, ERYT500

5Elements Flow Yoga is a model of five creative, dynamic vinyasa flow practices within the Kunga Yoga School developed by Kristin Cooper and inspired by the teachings of Ayurveda. 5Elements Flow is based on the “panchamahabhutus,” or the five great elements of nature, and is for students of all levels. This practice teaches a deeper understanding of the elements through unique namaskars and posture sequencing, and offers the practitioner a toolbox of five flow practices which correlate with changing seasons and life cycles.

All 5Elements Flow practices are set sequence classes, meaning that the same sequence of namaskars and asanas are taught every time in every class. The 5Elements Flow model includes the following classes:

• 5Elements Earth Flow
• 5Elements Water Flow
• 5Elements Air Flow
• 5Elements Fire Flow
• 5Elements Space Flow

5Elements Flow Yoga Teacher Training Certification is for aspiring and experienced teachers wishing to deepen their knowledge of vinyasa “flow” practices, and the Ayurvedic effects of asana. Ayurveda is known as the sister science of yoga. Teachers with this understanding of the Ayurvedic effect of asana can more fully support their students and private clients with a plethora of tools and options applicable to the individual’s needs. Students with this understanding of Ayurveda can better support themselves not only in their asana practice, but in their lifestyle as a whole.
