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! 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.
Join Dages Juvelier Keates for a joyful extended practice incorporating asana, hands-on adjustments, breath work, metaphor, and imagination! 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 any student or teacher of yoga. Yoga is invisible, there are no levels, and you are most welcome exactly as you are.

Extended Practice to Integrate the Three Floors of the Body
Time: 10-11:30am
Price: $50
-
Our bodies are a house, made up of three floors and nine rooms. When each of our floors stack and communicate with intelligence, the body becomes a coherent, integrated whole. This practice will focus on integrating the three floors of the body for an experience where our stability, capacity, and vision function as an organized and cohesive system. We will explore how breath, form, and intention unlock greater ease, power, and presence in our practice.

5 Hour Immersion:
Interplay of the Macro + Microcosm
Time: 12:30-5:30pm
Price: $175 public / $150 members
-
The universe is made up of patterns, and patterns imply intelligence. In this 5-hour immersion, explore the magic square as a map for understanding the interplay between the personal and universal. We'll begin by learning the route of the magic square. From there, we'll bring that intelligence into the body through body reading, props, and hands-on adjustments, learning to recognize the same universal patterns at work in our own form. Whether you're deepening your personal practice or refining your teaching, this immersion offers a philosophical shift in how you see the body, the practice, and the world around you.
This workshop counts as 5 hours towards the Citizen Yoga 300HR Teacher Training program. Contact teacher@citizenyogastudio.com to enroll at your hourly rate.

2 Hour Workshop:
The Magic of Breathwork
Time: 10am-12pm
Price: $75 public / $65 members
-
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 for Effortlessness
Time: 12:30-2pm
Price: $50
-
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 as a means of finding the lightness and ease of effortlessness.

2 Hour Workshop:
Making Body Reading Your Own
Time: 2:30-4:30pm
Price: $75 public / $65 members
-
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.
