The 5 Element Form is an ancient form of movements that comes from the Himalaya Mountains in North East India.
It’s a purification practice - through the different movements and by using your breath, you help your body to move not only the physical body but also the energies within. Once everything is in movement again, it’s much easier to release and let go. Letting go of tension in the body & mind, freeing yourself from heavy or distracting thoughts, bringing more lightness into your thoughts and into your body. Making space for new energy to enter your body, your mind and spirit.
Besides being a purification practice and therefore the most beneficial to do it right after you get up in the morning, the 5 Element Form with its 21 movements, is also a practice where you connect to the five elements of nature:
Earth - residing in your feet and legs
Water - residing in your hips
Fire - residing in your belly
Air - residing in your upper chest, the heart and lungs
Akasha (means connection to everything and all) - residing in your throat and everything that comes above that
You can see, the elements of nature that we find outside of our human body, we can find inside of us as well.
Do you sometimes feel disconnected? Disconnected from your surroundings? Disconnected from nature? Do you feel lonely sometimes?
By practicing the 5 Element Form, you’ll start to re-connect to yourself again, to all parts that it means to be you, from your feet to the crown of your head. From the element Earth to the element of Akasha. You’ll soon realize, that you’re never alone. You always have yourself to connect to and you can always connect to nature, as you’re part of nature. You’re nature.
You’re the microcosm in the macrocosm.

I’ve been practicing and sharing the 5 Element Form since 2017, so by now, since over 7 years.
I’ve always felt a special connection to this practice. I love the easiness, the flow-ness of the movements, bringing you out of your habitual ways of moving, of thinking, creating new neural pathways in your brain (as the movements are so unusual) , helping you to create space in your body and mind again, letting go of what doesn’t serve you with each movement and breath at a time. Helping you to be present. To just be with you, your movements and your breath.
Supporting you in creating a connection to yourself again. Making you feel more alive, more joyful..
I’ve been sharing this practice since over 7 years now, with so many groups in so many beautiful places - from Austria, to Norway and Sweden, in Germany, in the UK, in France, in Thailand, and here in Mallorca where I currently live.
I’ve taught to in my teacher trainings, so people continue to share it with their friends, loved ones or if they decide, to share it with their students.
It’s the practice that, honestly, everyone seems to love the most. Even the toughest men, I’ve seen softening, allowing themselves to connect to their feminine side, allowing themselves to be playful with these movements.
A practice where most groups don’t hesitate a second to get out of bed at 5:30am in the morning when we’ve been in Thailand, to make it in time for sunrise and practicing the 5 Element Form, waking up with nature.
