With DAGES JUVELIER KEATES

You’ve experienced Katonah Yoga and you want to start integrating it into your group classes. How do you begin?

In this training, we will learn the building blocks of teaching a group class. Each day, we will break sequences down into movable morsels that can be sequenced creatively based on the needs of your class. We will explore various approaches to opening a class and working with themes rooted in Katonah Yoga theory. Explore Katonah Yoga’s central metaphors of fits, folds, asana as origami, along with practical ways to generate and expand this vocabulary in your own language with your own angle. We will practice diligently in the mornings and dive into applied theory in the afternoons.

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.

WE WILL COVER

• Examples of fully sequenced classes, for beginners, experienced practitioners, and older or injured students
