30H KATONAH YOGA TRAINING

Substantiate yourself, develop competency, and free up your imagination. From the esoteric ideas of Taosim to the very pragmatic way to hold a right angle, we will move through techniques that articulate the Katonah Yoga theory that you may have heard but have not yet made use of in your teaching or embodied in your practice.

KATONAH YOGA FOR BEGINNERS

In this 2h workshop you will get a proper introduction to Katonah Yoga.

Katonah Yoga is a syncretic Yoga system that englobes Geometry (archetypes and measures), strong language, metaphors both to engage the mind and adjustments that help the practitioner to reorient and the integration of props (blocks, sandbags, straps, blankets).

AYURVEDIC INSIGHT ON WOMEN'S HORMONAL BALANCE

Ayurveda offers a unique way to look at women’s hormonal health. Challenges with the moon cycle; painful or irregular periods, mood swings and also, premenopausal issues like hot flashes and bad sleep all share a common root cause. The years even before a woman undergoes that hormonal shift have a major influence on how that natural transition will unfold. Therefore, this workshop addresses women of any age within that lifecycle.

This combination helps to create a stable offering for physical, emotional health and wellbeing.
