Opening Session: The Power of Relaxation — Embracing Your True Self

Step into Yoga Mastery Journey 2025: Awakening Through the Five Elements with

a practice that invites you to ground, harmonise, and ignite from within. The Power of Relaxation, led by Yogi Ashokananda, opens the weekend by awakening the lower chakras—the energetic roots of stability, emotional flow, and inner strength—through a dynamic yet deeply restorative blend of kriyas, breath, and bandhas.

This is not passive rest. This is relaxation as conscious activation—a journey into the subtle body where true healing begins. By working with the Earth, Water, and Fire elements, this session supports the balancing of energies, particularly in the root (Muladhara), sacral (Svadhisthana), and solar plexus (Manipura)chakras, helping you restore harmony and vitality. Through this, you deepen your connection with your inner truth, cantered in the nābhi chakra (belly button)—the radiant core of self-awareness and authentic presence.

Session Highlights:

Earth Element | Root Chakra (Muladhara): Ground into safety and stillness through breath-led awareness and stable postural alignment. Reconnect with the body as your foundation.
Water Element | Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana): Cultivate emotional fluidity and balance with kriyas that support openness, creativity, and ease of flow.
Fire Element | Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura): Gently awaken your inner fire through breath and kriyas, stoking inner strength, confidence, and transformative energy.
Breath and Prana Activation: Learn to direct prana through the energy channels, soothing the nervous system while energising the subtle body.
Integration Through the Koshas: Explore how deep relaxation affects not only the body, but the emotional, energetic, and blissful layers of your being.
Relaxation as Mastery: Use stillness as a tool for spiritual clarity—where effort gives way to insight, and presence becomes power.

This opening session lays the energetic groundwork for the weekend ahead, aligning your inner landscape with the rhythms of nature. From this grounded, vital place, your journey through the Five Elements can truly begin.

A closing Q&A and reflection space offer time to absorb the session’s work, ask questions, and share in community as you continue walking the path of Yoga Mastery Journey.

Sangha – A Gathering of Minds and Hearts

Join us for a Sangha, where the power of community comes alive! Sangha, a Sanskrit word meaning “association” or “community,” represents a gathering of individuals coming together with a shared purpose. Led by Yogi Ashokananda, this session invites participants to unite in a dynamic discussion on a topic that resonates with everyone in the group.

Through this collective experience, we will amplify our understanding and energy, creating a space where each voice matters. You are encouraged to actively engage, submit your questions, and share your thoughts as we explore new insights and deepen our connections. Together, let’s harness the magnetism of our shared wisdom and elevate each other through meaningful conversation.

Igniting the Elements: Awakening Energy Through Prana Kriya Yoga

Harnessing the breath and movement to awaken vitality, clear old patterns, and activate the elemental forces within.

The journey of awakening begins with movement, breath, and energy flowing in harmony with the forces of nature. In this opening session of Awakening Through the Five Elements, Yogi Ashokananda will lead you through a powerful Prana Kriya Yoga Master Class designed to awaken the elemental forces within—stability of earth, fluidity of water, vitality of fire, expansiveness of air, and spaciousness of ether.

Prana Kriya Yoga unites physical movement (kriya) with the power of the breath to awaken your creative potential and align your actions with your deepest intentions.

Through a harmonious blend of subtle kriyas, breath patterns, primordial sounds, and mudras, this practice works on both the physical and energetic bodies—clearing old patterns, revitalising your system, and stimulating the flow of kundalini energy. Suitable for all levels, this session will nurture the health of joints and muscles, rejuvenate the blood, and cultivate a balanced flow of life force.

As the first step in your elemental journey, this session will prepare your body and energy for the deeper alignment and strength developed in the Himalayan Hatha Yoga session, and for the profound stillness and clarity found in the Atma Kriya Meditation session later in the day. By the end of this practice, you will feel grounded, energised, and open—ready to engage more deeply with the elements within you.

We will conclude with an interactive Q&A and experience-sharing circle, giving you the chance to reflect on the practices, clarify techniques, and connect with fellow participants. In sharing and listening, we strengthen not only our own understanding but also the collective energy of the group, carrying the wisdom of Prana Kriya Yoga into the rest of the day’s journey.

Elemental Wisdom: Exploring the Five Elements in Yoga and Life

Step into a transformative exploration of the five elements, Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space, and their profound role in yoga, self-mastery, and daily life. This session invites you to deepen your understanding of how these primal forces shape your physical body, energetic system, emotions, and consciousness.

Through guided reflection, experiential exercises, and interactive dialogue, you will learn to recognise the presence of each element within yourself and the natural world, discovering how balance among them fosters health, vitality, and inner harmony.

Rooted in ancient yogic philosophy and enriched by Yogi Ashokananda’s unique insights, this session offers practical tools for integrating elemental wisdom into your practice and life. Whether through movement, breath, or meditation, awakening to the elements enables a deeper connection to your true nature and the universe around you.

Discourse: The Relevance and Connection of the Five Elements

In this discourse, Yogi Ashokananda will unravel the timeless significance of the five elements as the foundational building blocks of all existence—both outer and inner. The elements are not merely symbolic; they are living principles that manifest in the body, mind, emotions, and spirit.

Earth (Prithvi) grounds us, providing stability, structure, and endurance. It is the element of physicality and strength, supporting our sense of security and rootedness.
Water (Apas) flows within and without, representing adaptability, cleansing, and emotional fluidity. Water nurtures intuition and the capacity to move gracefully through change.
Fire (Agni) ignites transformation, willpower, and clarity. It fuels metabolism, creativity, and the courage to release what no longer serves us.
Air (Vayu) symbolises movement, breath, and freedom. It governs the nervous system and the flow of prana, connecting body and mind through subtle energy.
Space (Akasha) is the vast, silent dimension that holds and connects all things. It invites openness, spaciousness, and the awareness of our true essence beyond form.

Understanding these elements allows us to identify imbalances within ourselves—whether physical ailments, emotional turbulence, or mental restlessness—and offers pathways toward realignment and healing. Through cultivating elemental balance, we reconnect with the natural rhythms of the cosmos and awaken our fullest potential.

This discourse will also explore practical ways to embody the elements through yoga asana, kriya, breath, and meditation, making this ancient wisdom accessible and alive in modern practice.

Participants are encouraged to engage with questions and reflections, fostering a shared dialogue that enriches personal insight and collective understanding.

Elemental Stillness: A Himalayan Hatha Yoga Restorative Journey

In harmony with the Earth element—our foundation and grounding force—this restorative session invites you into deep stillness, guiding the body and mind into a state of effortless release and quiet regeneration. Drawing from the wisdom of Himalayan Hatha Yoga, we will explore a curated set of supported postures practiced lying down or seated, with minimal physical effort and a heightened awareness of breath and inner space.

This is not about doing more, but about doing less—with intention. Through the conscious use of breath and mental focus, each posture becomes a portal to surrender, calming the nervous system and allowing subtle energies to flow freely. As the body softens and the mind settles, the Earth element anchors you into presence, while the spaciousness of the practice invokes the balancing influence of the other elements—fluidity (Water), warmth (Fire), lightness (Air), and expansion (Space).

This deeply nourishing session is designed to replenish your energy, restore vitality, and guide you toward inner alignment with nature’s quiet rhythms. Suitable for all levels, especially those seeking profound rest and subtle transformation.

Balancing the Elements: A Himalayan Hatha Yoga Journey

Aligning body and breath to build strength, enhance flexibility, and harmonise the five elements in physical form.

Step into an immersive journey where the wisdom of the five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and space—infuses every movement, breath, and moment of awareness. Guided by renowned master Yogi Ashokananda, you will experience the essence of true Himalayan Hatha Yoga, where ancient tradition meets innovative depth.

In this transformative session, you will explore the art of precise alignment in each asana, activating the correct muscles to create stability (earth), encouraging fluidity and adaptability (water), igniting vitality and inner strength (fire), expanding freedom through conscious breathing (air), and cultivating spacious awareness within and beyond the body (space). This elemental approach will awaken your body to new vitality, free the flow of energy, and support mindful emotional balance in daily life.

Accessible to practitioners of all levels, this master class focuses on joint and ligament health, muscular strength, and balanced posture, while also engaging the subtle body for deeper energetic harmony. Each sequence is carefully crafted to cleanse, revitalise, and empower, offering you both a grounded physical experience and a profound inner awakening.

Himalayan Hatha Yoga, as created by Yogi Ashokananda, is far more than physical exercise—it is a path to inner mastery, alignment, and spiritual growth. Through the union of breath and movement, you will cultivate a safe, sustainable, and evolving practice that supports your whole being.

Join us for this unique master class and awaken through the five elements, discovering a more anchored, vibrant, and balanced version of yourself—on the mat and in life.

The Space Within: Awakening Awareness Through Atma Kriya Meditation

Exploring the stillness of the inner self, refining awareness, and connecting with the eternal essence of the elements.

Awakening is not only a movement of the body—it is a deep stirring of the soul. In this master session, Yogi Ashokananda will guide you into the heart of Atma Kriya Meditation, a transformative practice that awakens the five elements within your own being—grounding like earth, flowing like water, igniting like fire, expanding like air, and opening into the infinite space of pure awareness.

Through breath, gentle concentration, and refined inner focus, you will learn to channel prana (life force) through the body into higher consciousness, aligning with the essence of your true self. This elemental journey harmonises your inner and outer nature, cultivating clarity, self-awareness, and profound inner peace.

Atma Kriya Meditation is not simply a method of calming the mind; it is an invitation to experience the soul’s completeness. Each element you awaken supports a different aspect of your transformation—stability, adaptability, vitality, expansion, and spaciousness—allowing your practice to nurture both your physical and energetic systems. As your awareness deepens, you may notice enhanced concentration and memory, a soothed nervous system, and a release from the weight of stress, anxiety, or emotional unrest.

Following the guided meditation, Yogi Ashokananda will lead a Meditation Discourse exploring the philosophy and purpose of meditation as a bridge to the eternal within. This is an opportunity to understand the subtle principles that make Atma Kriya Meditation unique and deeply effective.

The session will conclude with an interactive Q&A, offering you the chance to engage directly with Yogi Ashokananda—seeking guidance, clarifying your understanding, and integrating these teachings into your own practice.
