The reasons why are fascinating.

Energy Medicine Yoga has become an integral part of my daily life. Learning about the Five Elements and understanding that my constitution is Fire and Earth has been transformative. I can recognize when I'm out of balance and have simple, practical practices that help me return to center. Before EMYoga, I often stayed stuck in stress, fear, or worry much longer. Today, I have tools that help me transform my emotions and move forward with greater courage, joy, and self-love. The greatest gift EMYoga has given me is a deep sense of self-agency—I know how to care for myself from the inside out.

Each of these patterns becomes more consequential over time contributing to significant health challenges when the underlying imbalance continues.

This course gives you:

Week 1: The Element of Water Contains the Emotion Fear

Fear leaves you feeling exhausted, mentally foggy, or unable to feel safe even when you can’t explain exactly what you’re afraid of. When Water energy stays out of balance, these emotional signals become physical. They can show up as toothaches, incontinence, urinary urgency, or problems with the strength and health of your bones.

In this foundational week, Donna and Lauren will introduce Energy Medicine, Energy Medicine Yoga, and the Five Elements. You’ll learn why fear is connected with the kidneys, bladder, teeth, and bones, how to recognize Water imbalance in your own body, and Energy Medicine Yoga practices for knowing when Water energy is out of balance and how to bring it back.

The Water element is also where the power of longevity lives in the body. Energy is one of the main ingredients missing in longevity practices, and the Water element holds the energy of the most important system in the body for healthy aging.

Week 2: The Element of Wood Contains the Emotion Anger

Anger shows up as irritability, frustration, resentment, or the feeling that you’re always pushing against something. It also carries information. When Wood energy stays out of balance, these emotional signals become physical. They can show up as recurring headaches or migraines, jaw clenching, tight neck and shoulders, muscle cramps, or tendon problems.

When these patterns become chronic or intensify into rage, the potential health consequences become more serious. Western medical research has linked chronic anger and prolonged psychological stress with health risks, including factors associated with the development and progression of some cancers.

Through the Wood element, you’ll explore what these signals communicate, why Wood energy has such a strong connection to your muscles, tendons, and eyes, and how to balance it and feel strong and confident.

Week 3:The Element of Fire Contains the Emotion Anxiety

Anxiety makes you feel restless and overwhelmed, with racing thoughts that make it difficult to sleep or settle down. When Fire energy stays out of balance, those signals become physical.  They can show up as heart palpitations, a rapid pulse, feeling overheated, night sweats, or recurring mouth and tongue sores.

Insomnia and sleep disorders are increasingly common, as are autoimmune diseases, particularly among women. In Five Element theory, both are associated with Fire energy out of balance. Donna Eden’s own experience with autoimmune disease is an important part of this story: after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, Donna used her ability to work with the body’s energies as part of her healing journey, an experience that ultimately led to her life’s work in Energy Medicine.

In the Fire element, you’ll explore what anxiety is communicating, why it is so closely connected with your heart and nervous system, and Energy Medicine Yoga practices to inspire you and bring you back to joy and health.

Week 4: The Element of Earth Contains the Emotion Worry

Worry keeps you caught in overthinking, replaying decisions, or taking care of everyone else while your own needs fall to the bottom of the list. When Earth energy stays out of balance, those signals can become physical, showing up as bloating or sluggish digestion, post-meal fatigue, brain fog, water retention, easy bruising, or persistent weight gain.

Digestive issues are the root of all diseases according to Ayurveda. Healing the emotions that can lead to digestive disorders is key to staying healthy.

Earth out of balance can also powerfully affect your reproductive system.

Through the Earth element, you’ll explore what worry communicates, why it can have such a profound effect on digestion, metabolism, reproduction and energy levels, and how Energy Medicine Yoga can help you come back into easeful self-care and love, the root of all healing.

Week 5: The Element of Metal Contains the Emotion Grief

Grief lingers as sadness, isolation, or difficulty letting go, even long after a loss or painful experience. When Metal energy stays out of balance, those emotional signals can become physical, showing up as shallow breathing or shortness of breath, a lingering dry cough, frequent colds, slow recovery from illness, or dry and flaky skin.

Through the Metal element, you’ll explore what grief communicates, why it is so closely connected with your lungs, breath, immune system, and skin, and Energy Medicine Yoga practices for letting go and coming back into health.

Week 6: Integration

By this point, you’ll have experienced all Five Elements and will be able to recognize which ones show up most often for you.

Lauren will bring everything together with a final integration class, helping you identify the practices and techniques to continue using in your daily life.

A Private Community for the Course

You’ll have access to a private online community where you can connect with other course participants, share your experiences, and continue the conversation between live sessions. You can also post questions as they come up and receive answers from the EMYoga team throughout the course.

The community is built right into our course platform, so there’s no Facebook group or separate social media account to manage. Your access continues for two months after the six-week course ends, giving you additional time to connect, revisit what you’ve learned, and continue working with Energy Medicine Yoga.

Bring Energy Medicine Into the Yoga You Already Practice

Energy Medicine adds a new dimension to the yoga you already practice.

In the Pose Library, Donna and Lauren break down familiar yoga poses and show you what’s happening energetically in each one. You’ll learn how adding specific Energy Medicine techniques can influence a pose's energetic effects.

Organized by element, the library makes it easy to find a pose you already know and discover new ways to work with it in your own practice.

Bonus Package: More Ways to Put What You Learn Into Practice

In addition to everything included in the six-week course, you’ll receive a collection of bonus Energy Medicine Yoga practices, giving you even more ways to work with your energy both during and after the course.

Your enrollment includes all prerecorded teachings and practices, six weeks of Live Chair Yoga and Q&A, special sessions with Donna Eden and Dondi Dahlin, the Pose Library, and three years of access to the complete course. It also includes the 4 Bonuses, valued at $400.

Energy Medicine Yoga gives you a way to understand these connections and powerful ways to work with them.

I first discovered Energy Medicine Yoga in 2019, and over the years it became an important part of my life. But in 2023, after an untimely death brought overwhelming grief, along with fear, sadness, and anger, I found myself turning to EMYoga in a way I never had before. I was a mess.

Emotion is energy in motion, and I needed space for these powerful emotions to move rather than stay stuck. EMYoga gave me that space. It met me right where I was, with no expectation to be okay. I could fall apart safely, move through what I was feeling, and find my way back to living fully and freely.

Energy Medicine Yoga has completely changed the way I practice yoga—it’s part of my everyday life now. I’ve learned how to support my body’s innate ability to heal with practices I can return to again and again. They’ve become an important part of my self-care, helping me manage stress and navigate emotional overwhelm. I hope to keep learning, growing, and sharing these practices with others.

Retirement from a busy and challenging career left me feeling lost and unsure of who I was without my job. Then my daughter introduced me to Energy Medicine Yoga, and there was no turning back! EMYoga helped me calm my internal stress, change my self-talk, and feel more awake and energized. Several years later, it’s still part of my daily life. I begin every morning with the EMYoga Wake Up and continue learning new ways to use these practices to support myself.

After 28 years as a yoga student, Energy Medicine Yoga has given me a new way to understand things I had long known to be true through my own experience. Lauren has a masterful way of blending the ‘woo’ with data, creating an approach that feels rooted in both tradition and science. There were things in yoga I simply ‘knew’ before. Through EMYoga, I’ve gained a greater understanding of the why behind them and a new way to explore the connection between our energy, emotions, and physical bodies.

Because of Energy Medicine Yoga I now have the tools I can use to care for both my energetic and physical health. It has been a beautiful journey, and I look forward to continuing to learn, grow, and experience what unfolds. 

The Five Elements Can Also Help You Understand Yourself

The Power of the Five Elements on the Mat

In each full-length mat practice, Lauren is joined by four advanced EMYoga teachers and students, together representing all Five Elements. With different ages, bodies, and genders practicing side by side, you’ll see how the same practice can look different for each person, along with modifications and movement options you can use to make the practice work for you.

You’ll also get to know each of these teachers through additional videos where they share tips and insights from their own Five Element experiences and practices.
