Our bodies and emotions are composed of the elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space. Butha Shuddhi means "purification of the elements". There are many variations of the Butha Shuddhi practice and Kumiko will teach us the technique given to her from her teacher Alan Finger, the founder of ISHTA yoga. Following a gentle pre-meditative asana practice, this technique opens your eyes to see the beauty in everything, and allows you to accept everything as it is. It heals and cleanses each element and creates inner space within you.
