We've been out of touch. Let's get back in. Learn how to adjust yourself and students to maximize somatic expression and pleasure. This training is focused on working with straps, blocks, hands, feet, ears, eyes, attunement, presence and listening to make lasting impact on your students in both class and private settings. Learn Katonah techniques to precisely attune to and adjust your students in standing, moving, seated and restorative asana work. You will gain competence through hands-on experience, and confidence through applied knowledge. 

No matter who you are, you fit yourself well. Your knees can fit your armpits, your feet behind your head, your heels into your palms. Of course in time, all things that are organic deform, and we feel less fitting than we might like. Yoga practice gives you an opportunity to measure up, re-organize your formsand find the awe that you were designed to fit into yourself and the world with effortless effort. In the first part of our workshop, we will fold and unfold our own forms, using the metaphor of asana as origami to find ever more increasingly complex practices. Next, we will focus on how we can well fit each other, using props, adjustments, language, and leverage to go higher and deeper in asana practice. First you fit you without compromise. Then you  can choose who  you would like to fit and use it for your mutual advantage!

This training is offered to teachers and dedicated practitioners, and offers an embodied approach to learning Katonah Yoga. Katonah Yoga articulates a philosophy of the body that is both formal and informative. Alignment focused, theory forward, this training will give students new insights into yoga to become well adjusted and well informed. Perfect for those seeking certification in Katonah, Dages, Marco and Alessandra will craft the syllabus based on the specific needs of the group. Upon registration, please email her your questions directly.

We will cover:

  • Katonah Yoga theory and practice: asana, pranayama, meditation

  • Cuing short sequences interweaving anatomy and imagination

  • Embodying the esoteric metaphors and dialogue of Katonah Yoga

  • Hands-on Adjustments, modifications for injuries, elders / sensitive students

  • Working with time, the Katonah Yoga calendars, and the moon 

  • Maps and Materials: Katonah Yoga’s charts and glyphs, including the Magic Square and subtle body techniques (Wraps for Rapture)

  • Principles of alignment and adjustment

  • Using props: straps, blocks, chairs, poles, sandbags and their substitutes

  • Restorative and longevity practices
