We have to be able to find our focus within the chaos. And today we practice that. After you do this class, you'll be able to tackle ANYthing in your day. I guarantee today's practice will shift something in your day. We do a Katonah-based warm up and then move into a Kundalini-based Archer pra...

This class is here to get you out of your head, and into your body. And then, to get what is in your body, moving and expressed. So many times we are told to vocalize our needs, but we are not often taught how to physically express what's happening for us. Today we practice that, and this prac...

This practice is about moving from our center--both physically and metaphorically. How do we use our core, draw into the midline, and stabilize ourselves? How do we make choices and decisions based in our core beliefs? The "moving center" of our bodies holds so much power when we tap into it. Th...

The consistency of our practice is what gives us the ability to navigate things off the mat. But we want to focus on practicing for the practice's sake, not for some goal we are trying to achieve (whether it is emotional, physical, or otherwise). Today we start with a stability flow and then mov...

This class has Katonah elements, but is mostly a flow, moving in and out of a few arm balances. We go forward and back, in and out, around and through, all searching for the middle way, the way to happiness. And it definitely isn't easy! But if it was, it probably wouldn't be worth it. Props ne...

First off, we are putting ourselves right where we want to be today. SO PICK WELL!! Today's class is a Katonah practice, focusing on side bending and vulnerability in the body, and keeping our mantra on our mind. We move into some twists, using our imagination to expand into more spaciousness,...

Today we are backbending, finding our potential, and moving forward. Whatever skin you have grown out of, today is the day to shed it and emerge through. We play with a lot of snake-like energy through the practice, including slithering on the floor. Props needed: any support you'd like at the en...

Sometimes we know when something big is about to shift (we are moving, we are starting a new job), and sometimes we don't (a break-up comes out of nowhere, someone close to us dies). This practice is part Katonah, part flow, to shift things in the practice and learn how to handle whatever comes ...

Today we are working toward homeostasis in the body (physically, emotionally, energetically). This Katonah practice starts with a pranayama (breath work) to work to get us back to our center. Throughout the asana practice we work with the metaphor of the body as a house to find internal cleansin...

We use a moon flow to start to tune into the pull of the moon/the tides/the world around us. Then we do full mandala flows all the way around the mat to start to expand our periphery and see more. The spherical theme keeps us moving and grooving until we land for our ending meditation. The med...

When searching for the truth, we need to measure. We need to know that something is correct without just blindly believing it or guessing at it. This goes for the measurement of our poses and off the mat as well. Our technique that we create on the mat is what we learn to rely on. So when we p...

Looking for a miracle? Keep looking and you'll find it. Today we stay on target, we keep our focus, and we refuse to quit before the miracle appears. Expect lots of hip and core work, moving into Kasyapasana (side plank with a half lotus bind). Props needed: blanket, strap (or substitute), block...

How do you both touch others and allow yourself to be touched; support others and allow yourself to be supported? This is a FLOWY flow class; you'll move quickly, build some heat, and move toward opening the heart space while strengthening the back. If you're feeling the need for community, star...

How do we keep strong boundaries and simultaneously soften ourselves; easing into poses and into the world. This class has a lot of twisting in it; we flow through the practice to find more freedom in each of the poses. Throughout the class we find the softness within each pose, within our physi...

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAV CLASSES I'VE EVER TAUGHT. We invoke Kali and process and express our anger in a healthy way. Expect lots of vocalization and big movements. You will DEFINITELY sweat. Use this class when you have anger that you need to MOVE (recent or past anger that is coming up for you...

YES. I am ready. --this is the feeling that we cultivate through today's practice. This is a great practice for when you're feeling anxious, out of control, or just a little frazzled. We slow the breath; reset the nervous system, and move slowly in a Katonah practice. We move toward pincha and...

Over and over we look to re-center ourselves. How do we come back to our homeostatic state? Practice! This is a Katonah based practice with a lot of side-bending (hello vulnerability!). We move into hanumanasana (splits) and pincha. Block are your friends in a Katonah practice: blocks, a bla...

Throat chakra day! That is communication: verbal and non-verbal, both speaking and listening. This flow practice puts the element of fluidity into your body and into your fifth chakra to improve any blockages you are feeling in any aspect of communication. Props: optional.

The peak pose of this class is titibasana (firefly pose), so think shoulders, hamstrings, and hips! BUT, that is not the goal of the class. Because the goal is our yoga practice itself. The practice is what gives us peace, the practice is what gives us what we are looking for. So we tune into gr...

If you're feeling out of balance, this is the class! We move through the chakras, balancing each in turn, ending in headstand. We move through 1) grounding; 2) flow; 3) self-identity; 4) love/community; 5) voice/listening; 6) intuition and seeing the bigger picture; and 7) enlightenment (lol).

This is a grounding Katonah class for when you are feeling overrun by your emotions. We set a strong container to hold everything that swirls and swishes (like the mermaid mug). Physically we stabilize the hips and open the side bodies. Props needed: wall, blocks, blanket.

In this Katonah class we realize how similar we all are, how we all have the same questions, the same desires, and how we all watch the same viral TikTok videos. If you're feeling alone or stuck, this is a great practice to do. We end with compass pose, pulling ourselves through to the other sid...

Back to the present moment! Back to grounding! Again and again. This is how we find ourselves where we are, this is how we find joy. This is a Katonah class where we work a lot of revolving and twisting to find ourselves in the double compass (in the video's thumbnail). Props suggested: blocks, ...

This class has a lot of back-bending and a lot of froward-bending. We find the magic of the potential moving us forward balanced with the anchoring of us in our history and lessons learned. We work toward upward-facing two-foot staff pose (in the thumbnail). We end with some headstand work and pi...
