Realign with your TRUE NATURE.
Deepen your practice. Transform your life.

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?

  • You are excited to explore yoga as medicine – to heal and transform your life and body (and offer this wisdom to your students).
  • Your yoga practice (or teaching) feels a bit flat. You want to learn new asana sequences, inspiring meditations and a diversity of subtle practices to weave into your yoga.
  • You’ve been feeling stuck in old patterns. You need a transformational shift that brings you to the next level of your practice – and your evolution as a conscious being.
  • You want to know why yoga works and how to create sustainable change, so you can use it as a powerful gateway to self-realization.
  • You crave reliable practices & tools that you can use to quickly return to balance when you feel stuck or a bit “off.”
  • You are a leader, and know you are here to make an impact on others and the planet.

Welcome. You're in the right place.

5 elements + 5 master teachers
guide you step by step into ...
ALIGNMENT in body, heart, mind and SOUL

We're so happy you're here.

Since you're on this page, chances are you LOVE yoga as much as we do.

You've experienced the benefits of practice. Perhaps you're even a teacher.

You KNOW there is much more to yoga than physical postures. 

You are ready to go deeper...

We've all been there. At certain points in our life our soul calls us to the next level of our own self understanding and evolution. 

Life may feel uncomfortable, or flat. The old patterns and ways of being don't feel quite right anymore. You feel a psychic itch telling you its time to grow... that there is more for you to experience.

The path of yoga continually opens new doors for us to realize our inner potential — the ever-expanding peace, joy, abundance and fulfillment that we all seek.

But we can't always find our way there on our own... in fact, we are not meant to.

Yoga is an oral tradition, passed down from master to student since time immemorial.

It’s no accident you’re on this page - synchronicity showing you right where you need to be.

When the student is ready, the teacher(s) appears.  

We have created this extraordinary program to give you:

  • Transformation that will deepen your yoga, on and off the mat
  • A deeper understanding of WHY yoga works and HOW to harmonize the energies of nature within you to create optimal health and wellbeing 
  • Revitalization as a teacher to create a whole new world of practices for you and your students

This elemental training will help you raise your vibration and cultivate refined inner balance so you may meet any challenge from your center (and guide your students to do the same).

As a result:

  • Your practice (and teaching) will no longer be “one-size-fits-all”
  • You’ll branch out, expanding and building upon your asana practice and adding deeper layers to your personal and professional foundation of yogic knowledge
  • You’ll learn the wisdom of the elements that will help your classes and trainings stand apart from the masses

It’s time stretch yourself and expand your practice. 
It's time to share your gifts with the world in a bigger way.

Are you ready?

INTRODUCING:

6 Month In-Depth Online Immersion
to Reconnect, Rebalance and Thrive
Using the Wisdom of the 5 Elements


The roots of yoga lie in connection to the Pancha Maha Bhutas (Five Great Elements) that constitute all of the natural world.

  • Earth - ground & stabilize
  • Water - surrender & flow
  • Fire - activate & transform
  • Air - mobilize & inspire
  • Ether/Space - expand & unify

These elements interact to create the universal energies we live in.

When the elements are in balance, we experience health and well-being. When they are out of balance, signs and symptoms of physical, emotional and spiritual disharmony can result.

At its origin, yogic practices aimed to discover and then dissolve imbalances in these five elements.

During this 6-month immersion, you will:

  • Learn how to work with the five elements in your yoga practice (and your life), to create deep physical, emotional, mental and spiritual alignment
  • Embody the five elements in your asana practice and learn to weave in powerful pranayamas, mantras, mudras, meditations and visualizations to increase the potency of your practice
  • Expand your teaching/leadership skills using five element wisdom and yoga philosophy to meet the needs of your students with ease and grace

The Five Elements of Yoga is a deep dive into the science and art of holistic yoga, taught by five Master Teachers from around the world.

This program has been so rich with teachings, experience, practices and so much heart. I am grateful for the lifetime access. I will be revisiting these videos, I already have. Thanks so much for offering this program!

This online course was such an amazing learning experience that I am so grateful for! The teachers were so diverse and amazing! As a teacher, this course has really helped me continue on the path that I was slowly stumbling towards. I feel it has shaped and contributed to my teaching and my personal practice (on and off the mat) and helped point me in a direction that I feel like I've been heading for awhile, like puzzle pieces finally fitting together. It has far exceeded any expectations.

Deepening my understanding of the five elements of yoga have truly helped me to dig deeper into finding my true path. The Earth element grounded me and offered me balance. The Water element created more fluidity and connection with my inner self and my outer self. The Air element gave me more expansion and helped me to not be afraid of inhaling everything but also knowing how to let it all go without fear. The Fire element inspired me to take care of myself and reinforced the importance of discipline while cultivating gratitude for the body I was given. Lastly, the Space element deepened my understanding of the infinite possibilities in life.

Deepen your practice with
rare online access to master teachers
who embody the wisdom of the elements:

Each of these powerful guides will lead you through the wisdom portal of their element, starting with Earth at the Root Chakra, and traveling up the chakras through the elements of Water, Fire, Air, and Ether/Space.

I absolutely love the course. Every time I sit and watch, learn and read.. what I receive is so connected to what is going on in my own journey at that time and its fascinating. The course has changed my life, helped my personal development and that has rippled into my teachings.

This course is absolutely perfect for me at this time of my life. I love that I can listen to the lectures while driving or in the school pick up line and that I can fit the practices in whenever I have a few minutes here and there. I look forward to each weekly lesson...Thank you for offering this course. It is a pleasure and I am learning a lot.

I am finding the information that I am gaining here is invaluable, and a wonderful and much needed addendum to teacher training. I find myself making time squeeeeezing in 'just one more lesson' ~even when I have other things to do!!!

I'm loving this program. This course has been very refreshing for my own teaching. I have been teaching yoga for 16 years and was starting to feel a little ... I don't know .. I needed some inspiration. This program is absolutely what I needed. Not only in my teaching but in my personal practice as well.

I have finished the Earth modules tonight and dear Saul, I have learned so very much from you. I am not a yoga teacher but am able to make such a deep connection to my Hindu roots, my Western upbringing and work through the enormous pain in my body. You have shown me how I can use the deep Grounded Mediation and Pranayama 3 Part Breathing and Prana Muktasana to move pain out of my body. I am amazed what I have been able to do and am so energized to learn more about my mind as it relates to my body and my body relates to my mind.

Sianna i want to say thank you so much for your sharing and sensibility. It was so healing and empowering. The simplicity of the teachings about what it really is to embrace freedom, accepting every part of our self that we deny, honoring with love and respect the experiences we have lived, in service for the evolution of the soul. The word intimacy! Really true intimacy! The practices focusing on stuck emotions...the mythological stories full of love and magic....they ignited my heart! Thank you for Ever!!!! - Lorena Roman


Juan Pablo Barahona


Juan Pablo has been submerged in spirituality, shamanism and healing since the age of 9 when his brother started with epilepsy and he traveled with his family to different healers around the world. This ignited his passion for deepening the sacred arts and led him to certify in different schools of Yoga, Holistic Nutrition, Tantric Philosophy, Energy Medicine, Master Reiki, Sound Healing, Shamanism, Chinese Medicine, Holistic Therapies and Healing Arts.

Ahhh...fire...maybe my favorite element? Maybe because of all the transformation I've been going through. And definitely because of my newfound love for Juanpa. What an amazing human being! He just radiates with such positive energy and joy. I learned so much during the 4 weeks of his module- I really didn't want them to end! And I had quite a few transformational moments. - Colleen Bell

She enjoys sharing her rich background in yoga along with the Divine Feminine tradition of Shakti Tantra and the contemplative practices of Kashmir Shaivism Tantra.

My journey through the Space element was very rich and enlightening. Sree shared so much in this element that I am still processing everything but one of the most important concepts I learned was to be quiet. To be in silence and to listen to ourselves helps us to reveal our true selves. This insight helps to elevate us to a higher consciousness. Sree spoke a lot about the conditioned mind and how we need to break free from it in order to move more deeply into awareness.  The Space element deepened my understanding of the infinite possibilities in life. - Michelle Dutch
