The Four Elements

Yogi’s have often connected with the elements. In this shoot I wanted to connect in my own way. I used bold lighting to help represent a feeling of each element. We also used Yoga asanas that connect us to each element. Model: Glo Hawa, a student and friend of mine. She is also a great Yoga teacher in her own right.

Earthy, rooted, & steady. Sitting in sukhasana connects us to the earth element and our own deep connected foundations
The Four Elements Yogi’s have often connected with the elements. In this shoot I wanted to connect in my own way. I used bold lighting to help represent a feeling of each element. We also used Yoga asanas that connect us to each element. Model: Glo Hawa, a student and friend of mine. She is also a great Yoga teacher in her own right. Earthy, rooted, & steady. Sitting in sukhasana connects us to the earth element and our own deep connected foundations. Standing in Mountain Pose grounds us and connects us to the earth. I find the calm and softness in Glo in this shot stunning. Virabhadrasana 2. Glo is a strong warrior; grounded and strong, planted into the earth. We must root into the earth in order to rise up from it. From our foundations we can grow and expand. Water can flow delicately. It can also have great power. As Glo moves toward Mermaid Pose she must balance this shifting element. This pose and photo reminded me of Ariel from I love her coy look to the side in this one. Baddha Konasana, another watery hip opener. Fire is strong. Fire is powerful. Fire is transformation. All are here in this boat pose variation. This pose is called Agni Stambhasana, or fire logs pose. It may be a hip opener, but as the name it is a bit fiery in sensation. The strength and power of fire is found in our center, in our core. Plank pose is a total burner for the core. Air is the element of the heart and the breath. We must open up and let it fill us with love and joy. Reverse Namaste. Our heart has a back to it. We must open it on all sides. Open hearted and free spirited, Glo loves a backbend! Urdhva Dhanurasana with one leg lifted. I was struck by the reflection of white lite on the wall leading to (or from) her heart. The heart is the Air center of the body.
