This module will uncover the links between Katonah Yoga’s theory, dialogue and practice. “Katonah Yoga is a syncretic Hatha yoga practice developed by Nevine Michaan over 40 years. She and her teachers incorporate classical Hatha yoga with Taoist theory, geometry, magic, mythology, metaphor, and imagination – in a practical framework designed to potentiate personal and communal well-being.”
Investigate imaginings between Taoist thought, universal principles, and nature cross-pollinated with embodied technique- your practice on the mat.

All welcome!

DAY 1: Introduction to Katonah Yoga

We will move through a workshop style flow designed to cultivate personal measure. Get a taste and feel for the guiding metaphors and poetically precise alignment to refine your frame, flush your organs, pump your glands, manipulate your mood.

Expect to heat up, cool down, restore.

DAY 2: Dive a little deeper into the Maps, Metaphor, Myth and Math of Katonah Yoga

We will dive a little deeper into the Maps, Metaphor, Myth and Math of Katonah Yoga theory through discussion and a full Pranayama experience. Imagining your body as your home gives rise to a richly equipped blueprint of our internal territory. We will use pranayama techniques to metaphorically move through each room and cement imaginative articulation into embodied knowledge. If time, we will look at individuals positioning using these maps and metaphors. Reorient personal positioning to fr optimal organic function and joy!
