Body

Sense, ground and express from a foundation of support.

Develop a more responsive relationship with the body through weight, breath, movement and rest.

Energy

Explore the movement and cultivation of vitality.

Breath, rhythm and coordinated movement offer different ways of gathering, directing and experiencing energy.

Awareness

Develop greater sensitivity to the responses of body and energy.

Cultivate attention through movement and stillness, so a more integrated experience of practice can emerge.

THE WAY WE PRACTISE MATTERS

What develops through practice depends on how you approach it.

Yoga has always been understood as a transformative practice. We can learn many techniques, postures and practices without developing a deeper relationship with practice itself. When yoga becomes another thing we have to get right, it can become something we do to ourselves rather than a practice through which the whole person is gradually cultivated.

Embodied Elements begins from a different place.

A practice that begins with listening

Embodied Elements begins with what is already present. Through movement, breath and stillness, we learn to sense the body, recognise changes in energy and notice how we participate in practice.

The intention isn't to remove discipline, effort or challenge. It's to apply them with greater sensitivity and discernment.

Sense before intervening.
Discern before directing.
Recognise before reacting.

THE 21-DAY JOURNEY

WHY 21 DAYS?

Practice develops through returning.

The journey unfolds by coming back to the practices again and again. Each phase gives you time to become familiar with them while gradually exploring subtler layers of sensing.

This isn't a challenge. With 12 months of access, practise at your own pace and return over time.

WHO IS IT FOR?

A practice you can meet from where you are.

You don't need to be flexible, experienced or able to do advanced postures to begin.

Embodied Elements is for you if you:

  • Feel stressed, overwhelmed or constantly switched on and find it hard to truly slow down
  • Feel tired or depleted, and notice that simply stopping doesn't always leave you restored
  • Feel disconnected, stuck or caught in familiar patterns and want a greater sense of connection with yourself
  • Want practical ways to work with movement, breath, rest and attention in everyday life
  • Want to begin, or return to, embodied movement practice through an approach that considers Body, Energy and Awareness

ABOUT AJE & THE TEACHING

Developed through practice, teaching and lived experience.

Embodied Elements was developed by Aje Ras Akarsha, founder and lead teacher at Hinterland Village School of Yoga. For more than a decade, his practice and teaching have been rooted in traditional Hatha Yoga and yogic self-cultivation, alongside ongoing exploration of embodied movement and nervous system-informed practice.

The programme brings these elements together into a progressive personal practice, while staying grounded in the tradition they come from. Aje leads Hinterland's residential retreats and teacher training and has taught in person and online internationally.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need previous yoga experience?

[Answer from current site]

Do I have to complete the 21 days consecutively?

You can move through the practices at your own rhythm. While designed as a continuous 21-day journey, you receive 12 months of full access to revisit and integrate each practice as your schedule allows.

How much time do I need each day?

Practices vary between 20 to 45 minutes daily, created to easily weave into your morning or evening routine without overwhelm.

Do I need any special equipment?

No specialised gear is needed. A comfortable mat or non-slip surface, comfortable clothing, and a quiet space are all you need to begin.

What happens after the 21 days?

You retain full 12-month access to the entire journey, foundations course, and Sunday Reset replay library to continue your practice and deepen your learning.

Is this useful if I already practise yoga?

Yes. The subtle cultivation of breath, prana, and nervous system awareness provides profound insights that refine and enrich any existing style of practice.

Is Embodied Elements a yoga teacher training?

Embodied Elements is an immersive personal self-cultivation journey rather than a certification, though teachers often find its somatic approaches immensely enriching for their instruction.

Your practice can begin where you are.

You don’t need to wait until you’re stronger, more flexible, more disciplined or have more time. Begin with what’s already available.
