2 X XL Katonah Yoga Class with Dages

Practice Presence : A 30 Hour Katonah Yoga Immersion

With DAGES JUVELIER KEATES : Senior Katonah Yoga Teacher

February 15th-19th, 2023 The Looking Glass Basel / Feldbergstrasse 1, 4057 Basel, CH

Training Format:

*Every day includes a vigorous asana practice, immersive pranayama, and hands-on, open format workshops to explicate Katonah Yoga theory.

Students will leave this training full of new information, both embodied and theoretical, for amplifying their practice and teaching others. Katonah Yoga concepts easily translate and augment other styles of yoga practice. We hope that participants will be inspired to overlay our syncretic material with the lineage they already have mastered. This training is intended to invigorate and stimulate one's teacherly creativity, as well as give people an experience of a bold, dynamic body of theory.

WE WILL COVER

• Maps and Materials: Katonah Yoga’s charts and glyphs
• Working with injuries, newer / older students and those with limited mobility
• Body readings/diagnostics for informing practice
• Breakdown of frequently used poses and techniques along with their adjustments/modifications
• Language: how to articulate Katonah Yoga theory to students
• Working with props: straps, blocks, chairs, poles, sandbags and their substitutes

You will leave this training with the confidence and skills to teach group classes and privates immediately.

The body is a visible, ephemeral ingathering of tissues and organs that resonate in relationship. We are the shape that holds a history, a kind of sonic organ of connection, with ourselves and our surroundings. The invisible is imprinted on and within us. Therapeutic somatic practices move us, touch us, open us and affect us, to the level of neurology, fascial organization, even epigenetics. Working with imagination as an invisible limb: like a third hand, a third eye, a third foot- an implicit, vibratory node of resonance, an invisible other with whom to enter active relation.

Daily habits of postural and social limitations can lead us to feel tight, bound, and calcified. How might a practical quotidien practice render me more sensate, sensitive, sensible?

Learn techniques that are radical and revelatory. Saturate yourself in the development of a versatile practice that can be translated and augmented through whatever yoga you already know. Learn how to use props, straps, and adjustments to evolve your practice and teaching. Confidence is based on competency, which is rooted in experience and repetition. Gain confidence, refine your practice, amplify your techniques.

This training will be small and personal, enabling each participant to get the information that will best support them in empowering others. Specific questions can be emailed to Dages in advance, or feel to bring in your real life examples for mentoring.

You will gain competence through hands-on experience, and confidence through applied knowledge. Every day will begin with three hours of Katonah Yoga practice: asana, pranayama, meditation. Afternoon sessions will dive into the depths of applied theory.

Testimonials:

“Dages is a master of both Katonah material and teaching in general. I felt like I received 15 hours of personal therapeutic attention from both Dages and my fellow students - all so eager learn the material and practice on each other. What a truly magical and enlightening weekend. More, please!”

“Whether your goal is to improve the experience for your existing clients or take on your very first one, you will absolutely walk away from this program with tools and confidence to do so! Having the opportunity to tap into Dages' extensive experience and her passion for sharing all she knows is invaluable. The set-up of the program was both professional and extremely productive; from the high quality materials to the vast amount of hands on practice each student was able to experience.”

'This training exceeded my expectations on so many levels. The wealth of knowledge and passion that Dages has for this practice is undeniable. This training will expand not only your teaching, but the lens in which you see the World.'

“I highly recommend this training module with Dages. I left feeling empowered and filled with practical knowledge on how to give a therapeutic private. I was thoroughly impressed with the structure of the weekend and well Dages time-managed each day. Dages expanded my imagination of what a 'yoga practice' looks like and how everybody and every mind can benefit from these therapeutic poses and breath work.”

“The Teaching the Therapeutic Private training with Dages was an incredible experience. We learned practical, applicable tools for working with students one-on-one, and were immersed into the magic of Katonah yoga theory. The work was profoundly deep and yet playful. Especially as a vinyasa teacher who primarily teaches group classes, I learned so much and feel so much better equipped to teach privates. I can't recommend this training enough.”
