Yoga is a mind-body discipline that was developed by philosophers concerned with the challenge of eliminating suffering from human life. As such, it is compatible with all religions and world-views and can be practised by people of all ages and fitness levels.
In our school we value personal approach. We apply an ancient Indian philosophy which says that both animate and inanimate worlds, including human mind, are formed by interplay of the five basic elements (sans. pancha maha bhuta): earth, water, fire, air and space. Thus the name of our school – 5 Elements.
Each of us is different and has a different constitution of these five elements. Their imbalance can lead to physical or psychological disturbances, or simply hampers our ability to realise our full potential in life. One of the aims of yoga practice is to balance our own elements.
Our teachers will help you establish which of the practices and ways of practicing yoga are right for you, in a given time of your life. This reflects the true spirit of yoga, which over thousands of years of its existence has been practiced to achieve diverse goals, by different people and in different ways.
Our classes are designed to balance your own elements. Each class is marked with its dominant element, e.g. a vigorous, dynamic class which burns a lot of calories and stimulates your motivation will be marked with the fire element. A picture below illustrates the main characteristics of the five elements.

This is what you get when you decide to study with us:
100% experiential learning of all taught concepts and techniques of traditional yoga. We don’t let you blindly rely on our words or the words of ancient scriptures – the course is based entirely on practical assignments which lead to personal experiences. The theory and philosophy of yoga are carefully selected to deepen your own practice and help you form your own opinion about some key modern concepts and debates in yoga. We don’t want to train your memory or convince you to stiff doctrines. We provide diverse, but not exhaustive theory and philosophy training.
Small batches (maximum 6 students in most locations).
168 contact hours with Lead E-RYT Trainers (200h course), as compared to about 110h in most TTCs!
We will share with you the cutting-edge scientific discoveries in anatomy and research on yoga, so that you can work with human bodies in a responsible way. We don’t require that you learn anatomical terms by heart – we have developed a totally practical module which will be indispensable in your daily practice.
International E-RYT faculty with a combined experience of over 11,000 teaching hours and a broad range of backgrounds. We will give you exposure to diverse yoga traditions and styles in which we are experienced, such as: Hatha Yoga (Bihar School of Yoga, Shivananda, S-VYASA, etc.) Vinyasa, Power Yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, Yoga Therapy, Yoga with Props, Acro Yoga etc. We believe in a human-centric approach to yoga where the individual comes before brand names and dogmas. That's why we blend the best of these traditions in our methodology. We ensure that you have a complete knowledge of all authentic yoga practices such as pranayama, mudra and meditation, not just asana.
We want you to inspire your students to transform their lives. We will give you tools which will help you discover that spark of inspiration inside you. Listen to your own story first, before you can open your eyes and ears to the stories inside your students.
Our 200 and 300 RYT courses are suitable for people who value independence in designing their personal practice and creative classes. There is substantial information in the course which will require your full focus during the training.

Please keep in mind that our batches are very small: a maximum of 6 students per class in Krakow. We strongly believe that an authentic, personal approach to each student is essential and we encourage small groups in all yoga classes. This is how yoga has been taught traditionally.
