ABOUT THE TRAINING
Restoration is the work of returning something to its former state and relaxation is the state of freedom from tension or anxiety. Our goal is reformation; the act of improving or making changes for the better. The technique of restorative yoga is to embody formal forms (asanas) whose geometry over time allows for a therapeutic experience. Restoring anything implies that one is rehabilitating back to an original state of being or function. Our approach to restorative yoga is meant to reshape a stressed out, uninformed or broken body, which helps to set up the conditions to redirect a life. The virtue of a restorative practice is found within time spent inside oneself, developing the finesse of being in the moment. The repertoire of restorative poses in the Katonah Yoga practice is conceived to manipulate our container so that it becomes more agile and durable, demanding that we organize it formally rather than habitually. Restorative yoga is the effort to forge a new frame of reference, via our structure, both physically and neurologically. Join us to explore the richness and deeply therapeutic nature of the Katonah restorative practice. We will explore restorative prop set ups, move through various restorative practices, address injuries and experience techniques to traverse our internal landscape while deep inside the poses. Come either to have a restorative experience or to learn how to give someone else one.

ABOUT ABBIE GALVIN
Abbie Galvin is the owner of The Studio, a NYC based yoga studio, teaching Katonah Yoga. She has been honing this practice for the past 25 years and has a strong student-base from all around the world. Abbie's instruction is informed by her own creative process as a filmmaker and from her exploration of the therapeutic process as a psychoanalyst. She has learned over and over that truly participating in any formal process of self-exploration leads to transformation whether it be physical, psychological or intellectual. Her goal is to engage students of yoga in the dialogue between their conscious and their unconscious selves because it is through that effort that we potentiate ourselves. It is her intention as a teacher to cajole each student in that most rigorous effort to be grounded, to grow upwards, and to participate in the creation of their best self.

KATONAH YOGA ® is a syncretic Hatha yoga practice developed by Nevine Michaan of Katonah Yoga Center over 40 years. She and her teachers incorporate classical Hatha yoga with Taoist theory, geometry, magic, mythology, metaphor, and imagination — in a practical framework designed to potentiate personal and communal well-being. Framing the practice, maps of time and personal space are defined and refined. Themes using asana as origami, manipulating form for function, and developing a sense of personal measure are incorporated in Katonah Yoga practices. Katonah Yoga is organized around three principles of esoteric dialogue: all polarities are mediated by trinity; the universe has pattern, pattern belies intelligence; by virtue of repetition there is potential for insight. Disciplined techniques are organized for revelation through revolutions.

INVERSION WORKSHOP mit DANA am 8.11.2020

Uhrzeit 14:00-17:00

Kopfstand, Handstand und Co. – Umkehrhaltungen sind für viele von uns ein Mysterium. Wir hassen sie oder wir lieben sie. Selten begegnen wir ihnen neutral. Mit ein wenig Technik und viel viel spielerischer Übung können diese Haltungen allen große Freude bereiten.

In diesem Workshop werden wir Handstand, Unterarmstand und Kopfstand in ihre Bestandteile zerlegen und uns mit ihnen vertraut machen. Nur was man kennt, kann man verstehen. Wir werden Übungen ausführen, die für alle geeignet sind, egal wieviel Erfahrung und spielerisch ausprobieren.

Wenn du bereits erste oder auch viele Schritte in Umkehrhaltungen gegangen bist, wirst du hier neue Impulse bekommen, um deine Praxis zu verfeinern.

Eins werden alle sicher: die Perspektive auf Altbekanntes wechseln und Spaß an der eigenen Praxis haben.
