Community classes are classes that are recorded live with some friends; you'll see other people featured so you can start to learn what these poses look like in other bodies to further inform your own practice.

  • Breathing with Discomfort

    This is the class for the days you want to really challenge yourself. To break out of your box; to get out of your head; to shift your perspective; to move forward! We do some of the most uncomfortable poses to be in so that you can practice really breathing through those times. It's big work, bu...

  • Katonah: Be Alive!

    We start with a poem, move through some pranayama, and try to fully experience being alive--mostly through our hips! We tune into our bodies and the experience of being embodied and alive over and over. Suggested props: blocks, blanket. Recorded November 2024.

  • Community: Float to Freedom

    We start slow today, giving ourselves time to breathe and center ourselves, with a focus on organic movements--trusting yourself to find the movements that suit you. We move into a lot of deep inner thigh work (strength and stretching!), bringing us into deep skandasana poses and toward ekapada a...

  • Katonah: Allowing Space and Unlocking Flow

    Today's practice works into the hip flexors and the hip joints to create a feeling of freedom through the body. We begin in the center of the room to warm up and build heat and then move to the wall for the "knee on the floor; foot on the wall" series. We use the openness to work through some ba...

  • Community: Glimmer your way forward

    If you are feeling down, or like you don't have the strength to move forward amidst the chaos, drop everything, get your mat, and practice this class. We find all the glimmers within the darkness and then we gather all of our energy and direct it toward what we want/our intention. Warning: you wi...

  • Katonah: Joy//Love

    This class is in honor of Patti's 60th birthday! Which means we focus on her favorite area of the body: the scapular/thoracic region. We open and close the upper body over and over, bringing up joy and grounding with love. This class moves through some Katonah warrior poses, pigeon with a twist, ...

  • Community: Connecting to Universal Love

    Sometimes it feels like we are so disconnected from what's happening in the world--this class looks to find and multiply our internal stillness to connect to Universal Love. This class is physically challenging, and we return to the breath and internal stillness to gather that energy to attempt e...

  • Katonah: Intuition Dreams

    Today's practice is low and a little slow--we ease into the practice. So if you're feeling tired and need to gently wake up your body/mind/intuition, choose this practice. We start with a short meditation, stretch out on our back, and then move through some crossed leg flow and balancing poses, e...

  • Community: Head in the sand vs. Standing up for something

    This is a Katonah-informed class, working with polarities to find our center and make conscious choices with our thoughts/words/actions. We work into the hips and practice eka pada koundinyasana (an arm balance) and finish with some inversion work. We let the shapes in our bodies start to teach u...

  • Community: Shadow Play

    This is a Katonah-informed class, using Katonah principles to move toward flying pigeon arm balance. We play with the idea of using our shadow to motivate us and move us toward the light. We practice going into the shadow, exploring it and understanding it, and coming back out. This practice has ...

  • Community: Either it goes well, or it passes

    Today we use the mantra "either it goes well, or it passes" to help us through the class/through our lives. The mantra comes from a song "Trying to see U" by Luca, which we play at the beginning and end of class. The class is a strong Katonah-informed leg/butt class, with a lot of chair poses, st...

  • Katonah: Gratitude for our teachers

    Today's class comes from a place of abundance: for all the lessons we've learned along the way and all the teachers throughout our lives. We model our practice after the tree: finding our presence in our feet, grounding and stabilizing; and then finding our flexibility through our hearts, moving ...

  • Community: Radical Gratitude

    Today's practice: gratitude for absolutely everything. We flow, flow, and flow some more. We bring a story of gratitude into the flow so that we fully embody it. Expect a big balancing sequence. Suggested props: blocks, strap. Recorded February 2025

  • Community: Ready? Voooooo

    This practice focuses on getting you ready for whatever your day/the universe is going to throw at you. Be READY. It's a Katonah-based practice, focusing on grounding and twisting (to be fully aware of the periphery). We end with some VOOOOO breathing to release trauma. Suggested props: blocks, ...

  • Katonah: Transcend

    Today's practice works to embody you so deeply that, at the end, we practice totally untethering, with the idea that helps us move into deeper states of meditation and accessing the universal consciousness. We feel deeply into our side bodies, our front and back bodies, and continually work with ...

  • Negative VIsualization for Gratitude

    In today's class (Katonah/flow), we work with negative visualization (a practice where we visualize our life without something we have) to shift us into a space of gratitude. Through the class, we work on opening the shoulders and upper back area to encourage this open-hearted attitude. Think lot...

  • Unstuck Yourself For Freedom

    In today's class we work to get unstuck, through moving energy through the joints, specifically focusing on the hips (primarily) and shoulders (secondarily). We work our technique, our form, and our measure to get out of habit, out of pattern, and into freedom. We do a lot of stabilization with ...

  • I AM LOVE

    This class is about letting go of the layers that have been placed upon us by the world/society and getting back to our true loving nature. We open gently and slowly into this idea, starting with releasing. Physically we start by tuning into the core--our physical center and then move through som...

  • Katonah: I am Spherical and Radiant

    Today we practice taking up space as our FULL SELVES. Radiate love! We do big expansions through circular and spherical shapes, getting into the hips and shoulders. This is a Katonah-based class, meaning lots of props! We spend some time in pigeons with some variations and end with some breathwork.

  • Katonah: Feral Affirmations

    Today's antidote comes from "feral affirmations" --moving toward trusting the universe even when things are uncomfortable and hard. This is a rebrand, and we are moving into our next era. This class is good for those tumultuous times, to help you choose to move through it. We do some Katonah moo...

  • Internal Sunshine

    This class focuses on finding and centering the internal light within us. We do some alternate side movement, lighting up our brains and keep coming back to lighting up our bodies in different ways, including with the breath. We move through chair pose variations, bow pose variations, and end wit...

  • Katonah: Expand Your Comfort Zone

    Build that comfort-zone muscle! More than just getting comfortable with being uncomfortable, today we are expanding our comfort zone. We find what feels easy, and then we see if we can try a little more. A little more speed, a little more breath, a little more stretch, a little more challenge. Ca...

  • Katonah: Muscle Memory

    Today we focus on training the body on a deep level so that the healthy, calming option becomes automatic. We practice big poses and try to intuitively allow the body to suggest the need for modifications as needed. We work our Sat Nam (Truth is my Identity) meditation to start, then start our as...

  • Soring Clean Yourself

    Bring yourself back to life! This practice is intended to pull you out of hibernation (whether it was a true winter or a metaphorical one!) and create space for new possibilities. We do some alternate nostril breathing and then do lots of big sweeping motions and twists through some flowing poses...
