3. Panchtattva Chikitsa
Five Elements Therapy – Reconnecting with Nature’s Inner Intelligence
This ancient Indian healing system is based on the profound understanding that both our bodies and the universe are composed of five fundamental elements:
Earth (Prithvi), Water (Apas), Fire (Agni), Air (Vayu), and Space (Akasha).
Each element holds specific energies and qualities that govern not only physical functions but also emotional and spiritual states. When these elements are imbalanced, disease, emotional blockages, and disconnection arise.
Why it matters:
This therapy offers a deep lens into energetic anatomy and self-healing. It reestablishes harmony between your inner and outer worlds and reconnects you with the wisdom of the natural order.
It also serves as a foundation for intuitive teaching, spiritual growth, and the integration of yogic and Ayurvedic perspectives into your daily life and professional path.

LEAD TEACHER
Julia Ruiz de Castroviejo
Julia Ruiz de Castroviejo Méndez, Spanish with a Latin heart. I am in love with Yoga, nature, and travel.
Certified 500 hours by Yoga Inbound and 300 hours in Ashtanga by Yoga Alliance (India).
Since 2014 I live in Colombia, where I found Yoga by living in a Yoga monastery for a few months. Since then I decided to dedicate myself to the practice and I have been certified as a Yoga Inbound teacher for children, as a prenatal yoga teacher, and as a Yoga instructor (300 + 500 hours). For the past 10 years, I have been dedicated to training instructors and teachers and teaching groups and private classes. My passion is to share my practice and spread the word through my yoga retreats and training.
Also, being in love with conscious food, I founded Amaranto, a project on responsible food consumption for children and adults.
I specialize in teaching ashtanga Mysore and vinyasa alignment classes, where the accuracy of the asana takes on real importance.
TEACHER
Abhi Nautiyal
Nametey , I'm Abhi Nautiyal, a yogi from Rishikesh, India. My yoga journey began at the age of 15, and I've continued my practice ever since. In my hometown, yoga is not just a physical activity – it flows in water, flies in the air, and remains stable in the mountains, visible in people's behavior.
Beyond the physical, my yoga journey focuses on enhancing mental, social, and spiritual well-being. I've learned to let go of negative emotions and I share these insights because I firmly believe that health is the foundation of true happiness.
