ABOUT THE WORKSHOP​

​

We often hear that yoga aims to unite the mind and body, but what about bringing into harmony our body, breath, mind, wisdom and spirit, to get a glimpse of our true self? In this interactive workshop you will discover the five ‘layers’ or ‘sheaths’ called Koshas that make up our being to create a truly immersive yoga experience.  

​

According to traditional yogic philosophy each Kosha is contained within the next and can be experienced as different levels of consciousness, from the gross or physical to the subtle. Diving into each of the koshas can help to bring new meaning and depth to your practice, taking it well beyond the physical.   Join me on a journey into the true essence of yoga and leave with a deeper understanding of yourself and this ancient philosophy.

​

Suitable For:  Anyone interested in learning more about themselves and yogic philosophy.

Elaine has been teaching group exercise in the health and fitness industry since her early 20s.  As a long-time resident of Dubai and mother of two grown sons, she ended a 15-year career in Real Estate/Facilities management in 2016, to teach full time.

Further studies in yoga therapy, yin yoga, pranayama, prenatal yoga and Mindful based stress reduction (MBSR) led to teaching more private clients with special needs along with group classes.  A passion for plant powered eating led her to create a Vegan Yoginis group on Facebook which combines yoga with plant-based cooking in small groups.
