Katonah yoga is a syncretic practice named after the town in New York that founder Nevine Michaan lived in at the time of its inception. It is a blend that draws from Hatha yoga, Iyengar, Ashtanga, Kundalini, and more- all through the lens of Daoism and Chinese five element theory. We draw from the sound and efficient patterns found in great nature to inform, reform, and transform body, breath and mind.

Muscles conform to the structuring of bones, organs find their optimal function when well housed by muscle, and glands find their optimal hum when well fed by the organs. It is in this same manner that we utilize sacred geometry to move from the gross to the subtle. By this theory- the practice follows the principle that poses are not found by feeling but by proper measure- like a magician with a spell book, each spell must follow the right recipe to yield the desired outcome. It is by this reason that we often utilize props to find the proper angles. Blocks become an extension of bones, straps function like tendons, and blankets like tissue. 

The overarching goal of the practice is to become more powerful, more potentiated, and more archetypal by way of developing a toolkit for self exploration.
 

The immersion will go over the body as a house, an introduction to the Magic Square, as well as an introduction to body reading and the use of the seasons in five element theory as a reference tool when developing a practice. This weekend will be a fun, and explorational immersion that is intended to be just as useful to the beginner as to the veteran. Teachers and students alike are welcome to come and share in our play time. Each day will begin and end with a practice and we will play with lots of props, including chairs! Please feel encouraged to reach out with any inquiries, uncertainties, or general hellos.
