As a yoga teacher, I interpret the five elements in a more practical way. Each element is connected to one of our five senses: Earth to smell, Water to taste, Fire to sight, Air to touch, and Space to sound. When we do meditation, we try to balance these senses and the elements they represent. For example, grounding yoga postures bring balance to the Earth element, while breathing exercises (pranayama) balance Air. I think the beauty of the five elements lies in their relevance to daily practice — they’re not just theories but tools for inner balance.
