Hey y’all! My name is Miranda Peterson, RYT200 yoga teacher trained in Hatha yoga in India and founder/owner of Namaste in Nature.
Namaste in Nature offers 5-star yoga + hiking + meditation experiences near Asheville, NC. We choose trails and yoga sequences that are accessible to everyone including beginners. This yoga hiking experience is perfect for individuals, couples and groups; especially bachelorette parties, birthdays and girls weekend trips to Asheville, NC.
Each Friday in January 2019, I’m releasing a new video for each element: Earth, Water, Fire and Air.
This gentle, 30-minute Water Element Yoga Flow is great for beginners and yogis wanting to connect with the Water element. We’ll start with Ujjayi pranayama (breathing exercise) then flow through some traditional Hatha asanas (poses) and sun salutations followed by an antirheumatic series of motions that lubricates all the joints in the body.
Water represents fluidity, passion, creativity, emotions and sexuality. The human body is 50% – 75% water. We’ll work on strengthening, opening and relaxing the hips in this practice, as well as lubricating the joints.
Water is also associated with the second chakra: Svadhishthana or the Sacral Chakra. It is located in abdomen (sacral/pelvic area) and affects our ability to connect with and accept others and new experiences.
If you’d like a water challenge to practice off the mat, try exclusively drinking water for 30 days. Eat as you normally do but just cut out the tea, coffee, juice, soda, etc and drink only water and see how you feel. This will seriously help hydrate and detox the body. I have done this challenge before and I always feel healthier, more naturally energized and I save money too!
Namaste & Have A Great Day!
