MONTHLY
Dynamic Chairs
Thursday, May 13th, 2026 5 - 6:30 pm
(Every Second Thursday Each Month)
$40 in studio, $27 online
Yogis and Yoginis, Park Slope
In Katonah Yoga, the chair becomes a dynamic prop — a tool that supports us in stepping out of our personal investments. It offers a structure through which we can reconcile and reorganize ourselves, awakening insight and availability for returning to the implicit dialogue: to meet oneself, tune into our strengths, and reawaken our blind spots. We use the chair as scaffolding — a frame through which we can flush our organs and glands — so that we function more optimally and inhabit a body that is well-informed to meet life with steadiness, solidity, and resonance.
Spring Edition
Seasonal Sound + Katonah Yoga Restorative Practice
Saturday, June 6th, 2026
4 - 6:30pm - cost: $100 – Early Bird: $85 till Sunday, May 31st
Yogis and Yoginis, Park Slope
Join us this Summer for an enriching seasonal experience, as we utilize diverse tools and techniques to support dropping into deep states of embodiment.
In Chinese theory, Summer expands us into the fullness of the heart – our pinnacle of radiance, joy, and expression. It is a time to engage in community and celebrate relationship. The element of Summer is fire, which activates our totality of creativity and interconnection. It is the season to experience the expansiveness of our transformational cycles.
​
We use Katonah Yoga® Restorative shapes in combination with overtone-rich sounds to support the breath with postures that use formal setups, hands-on adjustments, and props as boundaries to scaffold physical and emotional structure. The instruments join with this dynamic environment, guiding attention deeper into the form. When the mind and body connect in this way, breath and energy move effortlessly, evoking ease and safety, and inviting new layers of psycho-somatic release.
​
Each participant will receive a uniquely personal experience guided by three facilitators. Chemistry and neurology transform in each posture supported by blocks, blankets, and straps, accompanied by chimes, tuning forks, singing bowls, and gongs. Leave energized, elevated, and engaged with the present moment.
Tuning the Instrument
A Katonah Yoga Practice
A Four-Part Sunday Series:
March 15, April 12, May 10 & June 7
2 - 5 pm
$125 per session
Yogis and Yoginis, Park Slope
A four part-workshop series designed to cultivate and fine-tune self-knowledge through embodiment practices. Practicing yoga in a group class is like playing in a symphony, each body contributing the music of its own instrument. A variety of other practices can help fine-tune the instrument—revealing blind spots, reconciling habitual patterns, and informing one's relationship to the body and mind. Katonah Yoga offers a body of theory and embodied practices that use structure, geometry, and metaphor to make the unconscious conscious. Tools and technique function as tuning forks, revealing where we are in space, time, and ultimately, ourselves. These tools provide feedback that help reconcile habitual patterns, personal tendencies, and inherited propensities, returning our relationship to nature, personal agency, and choice.
This series is designed for students who wish to refine and deepen their understanding of their personal practice, as well as for teachers who are curious to explore, clarify, and elevate their teaching through applied theory and skillful means. Each module offers a unique framework to help participants refine their practice.

Part 1: Adjustments, March 15
Learning to organize the body to be functional, sustainable and dimensional, hands on adjustments are revelatory. Just like an instrument, hands on adjustment helps us tune into our own physiology so we can take that information and transform that energy. A physical adjustment informs you from your habitual nature, your personal investment. Many classes are taught with verbal cues and assists, but a physical adjustment informs one's direction, vision and experience.
Through time and repetition of hands-on adjustments, our body's neurology remembers it, like a meaningful hug, and it begins to track that information so that we can return and find that landmark on our own. A stable, safe and grounded adjustment will inform and expand our possibilities and overall well-being. Our goals in practice are to be powerful in our options, to find joy, and develop a healthy life-long practice.

Part 2: Props, April 12
Props are used during practice as personal scaffolding to support our well-being, allowing us to transcend our personal nature and conditioned state. They encourage the body to release its habits, offering a framework for expansion and exploration into our inner terrain — where breath and consciousness are free to transform.

Part 3: Body Reading, May 10
The sharps and flats of life show up in the body: one’s foibles, patterns and habits. Body reading is an art: the power to see and transform old patterns into new sustainable postures. In this session, we will use templates & metaphors as a roadmap to function and ease, a return to one’s true nature. Expect a demonstration of individual body-reading along with group observation and practice.

Part 4: Breathwork and Meditation, June 7
The breath has the power to release and move stagnant energy. We can use breath to open our imaginations, travel the mind, and support the nervous system while adding volume and space in the body.
Meditation is the art of being mindful with oneself in the present moment. By observing the quality of our conscious awareness in the body, mind and breath, meditation offers us insights and the opportunity to notice our personal narrative and patterns.
