Overview of classes

Beginners and seasoned practitioners alike transition from moderate to 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, 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.

Through a feeling of integration, greater stamina, and inner poise, expect increased vitality and greater clarity in all modes of self-expression. Open to all levels of practitioners.

After having learned the fundamentals of Iyengar Yoga, this faster paced, mixed level class encourages students to cultivate a consistent, personalized, and informed practice. This class introduces students to a range of poses including forward and back extensions as well as twisting postures and head balance. Level II into Level III deepens the students’ awareness and experience of the more subtle and profound aspects and effects of asana. Having attained a level of stability and ease, students may hold asanas for longer periods of time, learn variations and begin the journey to reflection and meditation in asana. At this level, students are strongly encouraged to practice at home regularly so that their personal understanding of yogic postures begins to fuel their understanding of refinements taught in class.

Class will rotate each week of the month: First week: Standing asanas, Second week: Seated Twists and Forward Bends, Third week: Backbends and Fourth week: Restorative/Pranayama

An established lineage, the Iyengar method allows you to experience and envision longevity in your practice, as your body incrementally builds and refines sensitivity, strength, and stamina from the surface to the core.

Ashtanga Yoga is a set sequence of yoga postures practiced either in a Led Format (Sundays at 9am) or practiced in a Mysore tradition (where practitioners proceed with the sequence of postures without being led, yet under the guidance of a teacher offering assists and adjustments).

Welcoming practitioners of various fitness & lifestyle routines, this medium intensity class seamlessly transitions you from one posture to the next working & stretching in equal measure arms, legs, hips, glutes, front & back body. Poses in this multi-level class are weaved together in a rhythmic manner through the incorporation of breath at every level of the practice.

With no more than 3 postures to a side, the sequences are well balanced so as not to fatigue muscles and overload joints – thus keeping the mind vibrant and continuously aware of its potential.

Expect to feel the power of your breath while developing full body strength and stability.

An invigorating class priming you for Strength & Sensitivity!

Begin with breath-led Sun Salutations, move into a vigorous sequence with strength building, body-opening postures and a few twists and turns along the way. Close with a restful shavasana.

The resulting awakening of the spine will render your body alert and intuitive. You will leave feeling strong, energized and clear.

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 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 used in class as a basic structure toward fluidity and ease.

Join us for a weekend kick-off power hour of vigorous vinyasa-style yoga open to practitioners of all levels.

This class moves at a faster but still accessible pace to sync breath with movement, and includes standing poses, twists, balancing āsanas, side bends, backbends, and core work to engage your whole body & mind.

Set to an always inspiring playlist spanning genres & incorporating the ancient wisdom of yoga philosophy – let the music, breath, and movement melt away the stress of your week & get you ready for your weekend!

Feeling yourself pulled in many directions all at once? Slow down to keep up. Allow the occasion for the body to be still and your awareness expansive. Feel the mind loosening its grip on the non-essential, bringing to the forefront clarity and intuitive insight through a state of deep relaxation.

An introduction (5 min), will be followed by guided meditation (15 min), silence (10min), and guided relaxation (10 min). See what makes itself known in one’s natural effortless state.

Even when our mind is too overrun to hear even itself, the cells in our body are listening. Feel the immediate impact of deep listening bathed in the sounds of rich and immersive instruments, guided by an intuitive sound practitioner.

With your nervous system recalibrated, return to your daily routine in your capacity to be receptive and responsive.

Kirtan is Call and Response chanting of ancient mantras! Mantras are melodic phrases in the ancient language of Sanskrit that allow us to travel beyond the incessant rumination 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! You will feel something in you being awakened at the cellular level.
