A Workshop series designed to cultivate and fine-tune self-knowledge through practices in the body, mind and breath.
Cost: $90 per session
Practicing yoga in a group class is like playing in a symphony, each body contributing the music of its own instrument. A variety of other practices can help fine-tune the instrument—revealing blind spots, reconciling habitual patterns, and informing one’s relationship to the body and mind.
Katonah Yoga offers a body of theory and embodied practices that use structure, geometry, and metaphor to make the unconscious conscious. Tools and technique function as tuning forks, revealing where we are in space, time, and ultimately, ourselves. These tools provide feedback that help reconcile habitual patterns, personal tendencies, and inherited propensities, returning our relationship to nature, personal agency, and choice.
This series is designed for students who wish to refine and deepen their understanding of their personal practice, as well as for teachers who are curious to explore, clarify, and elevate their teaching through applied theory and skillful means. Each module offers a unique framework to help participants refine their practice.
Each session could be taken individually
- Part 4 – June 7: Breath work & Meditation
The breath has the power to release and move stagnant energy. We can use breath to open our imaginations, travel the mind, and support the nervous system while adding volume and space in the body.
Meditation is the art of being mindful with oneself in the present moment. By observing the quality of our conscious awareness in the body, mind and breath, meditation offers us insights and the opportunity to notice our personal narrative and patterns.
