The Katonah practice is designed to awaken pieces of ourselves from the slumber of unconscious habits in order to access our sentient self. The use of technique rather than our personal impulses affords better function. Thus, it is technique that propositions us to change. We use measure rather than feelings to create a stable structure and as we do, we discover that our body was designed to to fit itself.

Whether you are a teacher seeking theory in order to better mentor your students, a student searching to deepen your practice, a practitioner dealing with an injury, or a new practitioner seeking a way to integrate yoga into your life; our intensive will inform, inspire, and usher you on your path towards becoming a sphere of influence in and out of the yoga room. Join us to explore all aspects of the Katonah Yoga method including adjustments, restorative, prop work, teaching privates, home practice, body reading, magic square, pranayama and more.

At its core, katonah yoga is designed to wake us up from unconscious habits. rather than moving from personal impulse or preference, we work with technique — because technique creates function, and function makes change possible. by using measure instead of mood, we build structures that are stable, repeatable, and intelligent. through this process, we discover something simple and profound: the body was designed to fit itself.

One of the central metaphors of the practice is the body as a house. each floor expresses a different aspect of who we are, while remaining part of the same whole. the first floor — the lower body — substantiates us. it holds our ancestry, our stability, our sense of belonging. the second floor — the upper body — potentiates us. it represents capacity, competence, and how we meet the world. the third floor — the head — liberates us. it houses vision, imagination, and our ability to plan, perceive, and orient toward the future.

Within this framework, we use tools such as the magic square — a map for navigating personal potential. like a treasure map through the body, it offers clear routes for inquiry, reconciliation, and insight. breathwork becomes a key that opens new internal territory, creating space for the spirit to move with more freedom and clarity.

Our teachings within this training cover all aspects of the Katonah method: asana, intelligent use of props, hands-on adjustments, pranayama, body reading, restorative work, working with injuries, and the development of a sustainable home practice. a home practice, in katonah yoga, is not a fixed routine but a lifelong act of self-cultivation — continuously adapted, refined, and reimagined as life unfolds. it is both refuge and laboratory.

Learning how to adjust is inseparable from learning how to see. An effective adjustment changes someone’s frame of reference. because personal style often reflects unconscious habit, offering an external reorientation can open a portal of experience that may not be accessible alone. through both theory and practice, we work pragmatically with bodies to develop skill, sensitivity, and dimensional vision.

This is a practice that does not ask you to transcend the body, but to inhabit it fully. to organize yourself well. to build a house you can live in — with strength, intelligence, and vision.

Our days are thoughtfully structured to balance study, movement, integration, and rest. we begin each morning at 09:30and conclude at 18:00, with generous breaks throughout the day to support focus, digestion, and reflection.

Mornings typically open with an asana practice, grounding us in the body and introducing the themes of the day. this is followed by theory, technique, and practical exploration, including adjustments, prop work, metaphor, and discussion.

We take a mid-morning break, allowing time to rest, hydrate, and reset before continuing with more in-depth study and embodied practice.

After a lunch break, the afternoon sessions focus on integration: hands-on work, applied technique, restorative practices, breathwork, and time for questions and inquiry. these sessions are designed to deepen understanding while giving space for personal experience and insight.

Short breaks are woven into the afternoon to support sustained attention and ease.

Each day closes around 18:00, often with a quieter practice, reflection, or contemplative work, allowing the material to settle and the nervous system to downshift before the evening.

The rhythm of the day supports learning that is sustainable, embodied, and spacious — honoring both effort and rest as essential parts of the process.
