FRIDAY, MARCH 14
Extended Practice:
Folding, Fits and Forms
Time: 5:30-7:00pm
Price: $50
-
No matter who you are, you fit yourself well. Your knees can fit your armpits, your feet behind your head, and your heels into your palms. Using these functional fits, you can train your practice to be radical and revelatory! Katonah Yoga articulates a philosophy of the body that is both formal and informative.
Asana engages our ability to make contact with ourselves, find how we fit, and flourish in our functioning. The formality of asana is like learning how to write: first, you print block letters, and then, through repetition, you become so fluent you can write very quickly with cursive. This practice will get into the nuts and bolts and train the geometry of a formal practice. Since the lower body grounds, we want to know that we can hang onto this security as we start to look out. Backbends always start at the bottom, and from the roots, they rise to help us glimpse our potential.
Join Dages Juvelier Keates for a joyful Katonah Yoga Master Class incorporating rigorous practice, hands-on adjustments, breath work, metaphor, and imagination! Asana is origami for the body: as we fold and unfold joint space, we find form, function, and lots of fun! Learn techniques to spice up your practice, feel great, and enjoyably embody complex forms in a practical framework of communal well-being. You will leave feeling strong, structured, stable, and full of new approaches to familiar shapes. This class is offered to teachers and practitioners alike. Yoga is invisible, there are no levels, and you are most welcome exactly as you are.
SATURDAY, MARCH 15
Extended Practice:
Becoming Spherical: Wraps, Twists, and Spins
Time: 10-11:30am
Price: $50
-
This immersive personal laboratory sets up the mobility, stability, and refinement you need to unfurl your spine and reference your organismic sphericality. What is organic is round, and we are organic. The practice is not about conforming to an archetype, or shoving yourself into a mold. It is the experience of you using the archetype to become more spherical - resilient, flexible, and able to feel that you can bounce back. Being spherical puts you in the position of renewal. The experience of an organized spin gives full breath, joint space, and a flush of joy! Space.

SUNDAY, MARCH 16
2 Hour Workshop:
Katonah Yoga Theory + Breathwork
Time: 10am-12pm
Price: $75
-
In the most exhilarating moments of life, your breath is there. In the deepest grief, there too you will find the omnipresent melody of materiality, your precious breath. Vacillating between practices that stimulate and soothe, pranayama allows you to come home, to be alone with yourself. Katonah pranayama techniques are gateways to the dual tasks of learning to both soothe and stimulate oneself. Deepen your understanding of Katonah Yoga’s potent embodied maps for reorganizing oneself in time and space through the vehicle of the breath.
Extended Practice:
Unfolding and Flying!
Time: 12:30-2pm
Price: $50
-
A spring practice has the characteristic of rising yang, of unfurling, sprouting, and backbending. Like a sprout rising towards the sunbeams, we can look around at personal and great nature to see that, following the winter's silence, greening expansion is happening everywhere. That sprout moves through the center of our body as the beginning of a smile, the beginning of a backbend. Cultivate formality and measurement to safely amplify that smile, the arc line of potential, the secret whisperer of spring, and open it up. By opening planes of potentiality, we can start coming out of our shells and seeing what’s out there for us.

2 Hour Workshop:
Body Reading + Teaching a Private
Time: 2:30-4:30pm
Price: $75
-
What does the body have to say? Learn maps, metaphors, and methods to develop your eyes and hands for attuned readings and adjustments. A reading happens in a relationship. The experience becomes its own relational material, bringing out aspects of the student and of the teacher simultaneously. How do we deal with that? Learn Katonah techniques to precisely read and adjust your private students without pathologizing them. We will cover basic structures for organizing a reading best to serve the needs of different types of students. You will gain hands-on experience to gain confidence through applied knowledge.

Dages Juvelier Keates is a senior Katonah Yoga teacher based in New York City who teaches globally. She has been developing her practice and pedagogy for 22 years and has accreditations from the Bihar School, 3HO, Anusara, and Katonah Yoga. Since 2012, her syncretic teaching style has been profoundly impacted by an immersion in studies with her mentor, Nevine Michaan, founder of Katonah Yoga. Dages draws on her background as a dancer, writer, and artist working with and through the materiality of the body as a somatic space for holding paradox. Her work explores performative and poetic methodologies in cartographies of somatic, psychoanalytic, and nonhuman knowledges. Her research is interwoven with critical theory, Lurianic Kabbala, and western Herbalism. Dages holds a BA in dance from Bard College, a transdisciplinary MA from NYU, and an Advanced Masters from Sint Lucas Antwerpen. In 2018, she released “Radical Acts of Embodiment: Teaching and Practices of Katonah Yoga®”

KATONAH YOGA® is a syncretic Hatha yoga practice developed by Nevine Michaan of Katonah Yoga Center 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. Framing the practice, maps of time and personal space are defined and refined. Themes using asana as origami, manipulating form for function, and developing a sense of personal measure are incorporated in Katonah Yoga practices. Katonah Yoga is organized around three principles of esoteric dialogue: all polarities are mediated by trinity; the universe has pattern, pattern belies intelligence; by virtue of repetition there is potential for insight. Disciplined techniques are organized for revelation through revolutions.

FRIDAY SESSION
Extended Practice: Katonah Yoga® Asana + Pranayama
Date: Friday, Nov 1, 2024
Time: 5:30-7:30pm
Price: $50
The Katonah practice is designed to awaken pieces of ourselves from the slumber of unconscious habits in order to access our sentient self. The use of technique rather than our personal impulses affords better function. Thus, it is technique that propositions us to change. We use measure rather than feelings to create a stable structure and as we do, we discover that our body was designed to to fit itself. In this masterclass we will move through the fundamentals of the Katonah Yoga asana practice and experience the power of pranayama to open up territory in our bodies for our spirit to move through it.

Katonah Yoga® 5-hour Intensive: Props + Hands On Adjustments
Date: Saturday, Nov 2, 2024
Time: 11am-4pm
Price: $175
This intensive will serve as an experience of how to use information magically; touching someone in a real way, moving someone so they can get out of their own way, affecting someone so they have an insight.
Developing your own vision is the key to learning how to teach and adjust well. The goal is to change someone’s frame of reference, offering them a re-orientation in order to open a portal of experience impossible on one’s own. We will work pragmatically as well as theoretically, moving through asanas in order to discover how best to approach an adjustment, move a body and affect someone’s practice. Come fine tune your capacity as an adjuster, develop your relationship to touch and enhance your ability to see more dimensionally in order to enrich another person’s vision.

Katonah Yoga® 5-hour Intensive: Restorative + Home Practice
Date: Sunday, Nov 3, 2024
Time: 11am-4pm
Price: $175
The technique of restorative yoga is to embody formal forms (asanas) whose geometry over time allows for a therapeutic experience. Restoring anything implies that one is rehabilitating back to an original state of being or function. Our approach to restorative yoga is meant to reshape a stressed out, uninformed or broken body, which helps to set up the conditions to redirect a life.
Home practice is a progressive technique for self-knowledge and personal change. Purposefully different than public class, home practice opens up new emotional and physical vistas in order to deepen our resiliency, ground our nervous system and clarify our perceptual reality.
Over the course of five hours, we will explore restorative + home practice prop set ups, move through various restorative + home practices, address injuries, and experience techniques to traverse our internal landscape while deep inside the poses.
ABBIE GALVIN is the owner of The Studio, a NYC based yoga studio, teaching Katonah Yoga. She has been honing this practice for the past 25 years and has a strong student-base from all around the world. Abbie's instruction is informed by her own creative process as a filmmaker and from her exploration of the therapeutic process as a psychoanalyst. She has learned over and over that truly participating in any formal process of self-exploration leads to transformation whether it be physical, psychological or intellectual. Her goal is to engage students of yoga in the dialogue between their conscious and their unconscious selves because it is through that effort that we potentiate ourselves. It is her intention as a teacher to cajole each student in that most rigorous effort to be grounded, to grow upwards, and to participate in the creation of their best self.
