About this Event
The Five Element theory is a core concept in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It describes how five elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water, interact. Each element corresponds to organs, emotions, seasons, and more. These elements move in cycles of creation and control, influencing health.
Understanding these interactions helps diagnose imbalances and guide treatment in TCM Using TCM Five Element theory enhances Yin Yoga deeply. Each element links to specific meridians, emotions, and seasons. Yin Yoga targets these meridian pathways through sustained poses.

About our Studio
Born out of the bonds of close friendships and dedication to our traditional practice, the Ashtanga Yoga Centre offers a warm and inviting home for all of our students, whether new or established in the lineage.
Our Shala is a beautiful and serene space, used by Yogis several times a day, and humming with their energy long after they've left.
With three practice studios, honeyed real wood floors and high ceilings, we host a wide variety of classes, workshops, community and social events. Huge windows spill natural light into the main studio, making it a creative, reflective and energising space.
A communal kitchen infused with the aroma of home-brewed Chai tea has become a fond memory for Yogis around the globe as a place to share stories and experiences after practice.
Our generous space also includes changing facilities with toilets and showers, and mat storage facilities for our regular members. Visiting students can borrow practice mats, Yoga blankets, straps, blocks and bolsters to assist in their class.
