A next level yoga experience from New York
Learn how to fit yourself so you are well informed with your yoga experience, gaining greater competency to infuse your practice with dimension, energy, and refinement.
Join Lisa Dunn and Di Dearle for the first ever collaboration, the UK’s only Katonah teachers.
What to expect:
Katonah yoga is a integration of Hatha yoga with theories of sacred geometry to help develop stability and dimension. It has a Taoist philosophy to help observe how we conform to nature’s patterns in our bodies. The practice is peppered with Pranayama and Kundalini that moves breath through our physical terrain, serving as a conduit between the body and mind, soothing the soul.
In this Katonah Yoga workshop you will explore techniques of geometric measure. If a pose is measured well the body is supported by its own structure rather than relying on muscle. By reforming our body’s unconscious habits and introducing more informed and efficient patterns, yoga becomes origami for the body – get the first fold right then the rest falls into place. Learning to fit yourself sets up conditions for greater self-knowledge and a more expansive vision, which leads to personal change.
