EMBODIED ELEMENTS
A 21-day guided Yoga journey
Bringing together movement, breath, attention, rest and traditional Yogic practices of self-cultivation.
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, allowing a more integrated experience of practice to emerge.
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 develop greater awareness of how we participate in practice.
The intention is not to remove discipline, effort or challenge, but to apply them with greater sensitivity and discernment.

WHY 21 DAYS?
Practice develops through returning
The journey unfolds through returning and developing a relationship with practice.
Each phase gives you time to become familiar with the practices while progressively exploring subtler aspects of sensing.
This is not a challenge. With 12 months of access, practise at your own pace and return over time.
ABOUT AJE & THE TEACHING
Developed through practice, teaching and lived experience
Embodied Elements has been developed by Aje Ras Akarsha, co-founder and lead teacher at Hinterland School of Yoga.
For more than a decade, Aje's practice and teaching have been rooted in traditional Hatha Yoga and Yogic self-cultivation, alongside continued exploration of embodied movement, nervous system-informed practice, Smai Tawi Egyptian Yoga and Qigong.
The programme brings these influences into a progressive personal practice while remaining grounded in the traditions from which they come.
Aje leads Hinterland's residential retreats and teacher training programmes and has taught both in person and online internationally.
