Move into advanced postures by injecting the mystical into the physical. Ancient yogis understood that the body comes into the alchemy of movement when instilled with intention, purpose, and connection. Postures are skillfully introduced and sequenced with increasing intensity, infused with non-dogmatic Yoga philosophy, suggestions from one’s own voice as revealed in the chanting of ancient mantras, as well as the all-elusive sound of one’s own breath. Variations to optional advanced poses are offered so practitioners can work at their own level, moving through arm balances, deep hip openers, twists, chest expanding backbends and inversions.

This carefully sequenced vinyasa flow enables you to release control to a movement practice that shifts mind+body connection and invigorates our collective spirit. Expect music, repetition, and creativity to help reach a more advanced awareness of body, mind and purpose - and experience the beauty of how props enable us to thread one pose into the next. The foundations of Katonah Yoga™ as well as some structural alignment work, are often used as a basic structure toward fluidity and ease.

Restorative yoga is a gentle, grounding practice that invites stillness and ease. With the support of props like bolsters and blankets, the body settles into restful shapes, allowing the nervous system to unwind and the mind to soften. There is no effort, only an invitation to let go into support. As layers of tension release, this practice supports clear seeing, a quiet returning to your original nature, beyond the noise of daily life. Whether you're feeling depleted, stressed, or simply seeking balance, restorative yoga offers space to reconnect with the clear, calm, spacious and boundlessly loving presence that always exists within you. Each class ends with a meditative gong bath to guide you to deep states of rest, integration, and inner stillness.

Mantras are melodic phrases in the ancient language of Sanskrit that allow us to travel beyond the incessant ruminations of our mind and touch a part of ourselves that can only be reached by the sound of our own voices. The self calling out to the SELF and being heard!
