Air is the breath of life, the invisible and invincible force that fills our lungs and sustains our existence. It represents the realm of our mind and intellect, symbolising clarity, communication, and freedom. Just as the wind moves the leaves in the trees and the sand across landscapes, the element of air invites us to embrace the expansiveness of our thoughts and ideas.

When we're feeling scattered or overwhelmed, it's often a sign that our air element is out of balance. Attuning to the element of Air involves cultivating mental clarity and perspective. This can be achieved through practices such as mindfulness, meditation, pranayama (deep breathing) practices, and spending time in open spaces where the air is fresh and invigorating. 

As the front of the body is associated with the element of Air, it is a great idea to add heart opening postures into our yoga practice to balance this ethereal element within ourselves.

When we connect with the element of Air, we feel better equipped to gain perspective and we can question the complexities of our thoughts with more curiosity and wonder.

"An open mind is like an open window. It lets the fresh air in"
