Dynamic Longevity
A Weekend of the Fundamentals of Katonah Yoga®
June 6, 7, 8
Join Chase Connolly and Cari Friedman for a weekend of Katonah yoga®. No matter where you are in your yoga journey, techniques for longevity and engaging with the practice in a dynamic, well-rounded way are always worthwhile. Over this weekend-long training, you will be immersed in metaphor and imagination to broaden your frame of reference for yoga and develop an engaging experience of embodiment. We will start by learning the foundational maps of Katontah Yoga®, which explore the mechanics of physical postures, the Taoist philosophy of the energetic body, personal narratives, and much more.
Building upon these maps as tools, we will take them into the weekend to thoughtfully engage with our physical practice & discuss how to make a life-long yoga practice sustainable. We will do this via the formality of the asana practice and explore the ideas held within metaphors of Katonah Yoga®.
Finally, we will conclude with a day of looking at the more subtle aspects of the practice. A complete asana class will lead us to explore the theory and mechanics of breath practice and techniques for meditation.
We will cover:
-
Katonah yoga® techniques for functional postures
-
Imaginative embodiment practices during asana and breathwork
-
Katonah yoga® theory: the magic square, the seasonal cycle, and metaphor of “the body as a house” to awaken a rich internal experience.
All are welcome: beginners and experienced practitioners. Yoga is for everyone
