BLOOMFIELD WORKSHOP

Hatha Yoga, Pranayama, Meditation, + Yoga Nidra for the Spring Equinox

Sat, Mar 25, 2-4pm

On the Vernal Equinox, the sun crosses the celestial equator on its journey north. Days lengthen; nights become shorter. Just as plants grow toward the light, we grow in expectation. Our bodies strengthen, and our nervous systems reawaken after the sleep of winter. It’s the perfect time to shed what we no longer need and set intentions for growth.

Join Nancy McCaochan as she guides you through physical postures, breathing practices and meditations in celebration of the Equinox, the return of the light and expanding possibility. The session concludes with a 20 minute yoga nidra to plant the seeds of personal growth.

All levels welcome!

Bring your mat, a notebook, something to write with and your curiosity.

DETROIT EXPERIENCE

Somatic Movement + Past Life Regression

Sun, Apr 16, 5:30 – 8pm

Join Casey and Adina for a meditative experience through somatic movement and past life regression.

Casey will open the space by guiding you through a deeply intuitive moment practice to explore subtle sensations and breath in the body. These modalities will help you feel nourished and safe to explore deeper layers of your being.

After integrating sensation, Adina will then use hypnosis techniques take you into a trance-like state of meditation. In this space you will be invited to dive into the subconscious mind and past life memories held there that are mirroring or influencing your present experience. Through this practice we’ll also explore how to shift current reality to embody and welcome in more of who you truly are.

ONLINE WORKSHOP

Self-Study + Restorative Practice for Ethnic and Race-Based Stress and Trauma with Dr. Gail Parker

Tue, May 9, 5:30-8:30pm

In a racialized world we are all, regardless of race or ethnicity, whether directly or indirectly, affected by race and racism. Because the cultural norm in the United States has been to remain silent regarding its impact, we are embedded in a culture of unexamined untreated, unhealed ethnic and racial stress and trauma. Addressing these emotional wounds requires that each one of us take an honest look at the wounding we have endured and the wounding we have inflicted on others. In order for lasting change to occur, self-reflection and self-study, svadhyaya are required.

In this webinar tools will be offered, through a yogic lens, that can help you compassionately explore, address and transcend your own stress and trauma regarding race and ethnicity, allowing you to engage in emotionally restorative relationships with others.

5:30p-8:00p Lecture & 8:00p-8:30p Q&A

Teacher: Dr. Gail Parker, Ph.D., C-IAYT, E-RYT 500, YACEP

KATONAH EXTENDED PRACTICE + IMMERSIONS

Katonah® Weekend
with Abbie Galvin

BLOOMFIELD STUDIO
April 22 – 23, 2023
SESSION ONE

Extended Practice: Katonah Foundations: Asana + Pranayama

SOLD OUT

Extended Practice: Katonah® Foundations: Asana + Pranayama
Sat, April, 22, 9:45am – 12:15pm

The Katonah® practice is designed to awaken pieces of ourselves from the slumber of unconscious habits in order to access our sentient self. The use of technique, rather than our personal impulses, affords better function. Thus, it is technique that propositions us to change.
We use measure rather than feelings to create a stable structure and as we do, we discover that our body was designed to fit itself.
In this masterclass we will move through the fundamentals of the Katonah® Yoga asana practice and experience the power of pranayama to open up territory in our bodies for our spirit to move through it.
Price: $50
SESSION TWO

Katonah Body Reading Immersion

SOLD OUT

Katonah® Body Reading Immersion
Sat, April 22, 1 – 6pm

Reading a body, assessing a pose, interpreting where one is heading, is the art of seeing. Poses show propensities of behavior and how personal habits are articulated in the practice. When we look at a yoga pose, we reference the ideal form of it so that we have a template, a map, a criteria to look for.
In this intensive we will set up the body on a grid to be deciphered as a map, read the feet as a fractal of the whole narrative, learn how to unearth chronic and acute physical issues and explore what to do with the information we discover in our body readings.
Price: $175
SESSION THREE

Extended Practice: Katonah Restorative

SOLD OUT

Extended Practice: Katonah® Restorative
Sun, April 23, 9:45am – 12:15pm

Restoration is the work of returning something to its former state and relaxation is the state of freedom from tension or anxiety. Our goal is reformation: the act of improving or making changes for the better.

The technique of restorative yoga is to embody formal forms (asanas) whose geometry over time allows for a therapeutic experience. The Katonah® approach to restorative yoga is meant to reshape a stressed out, uninformed or broken body, which helps to set up the conditions to redirect a life.

This masterclass is for both teachers looking to assimilate restorative theory into their teaching, as well as students interested in immersing themselves in a restorative experience to more deeply profit from it.

Price: $50

SESSION FOUR

Katonah Yoga as Origami: Exploring Adjustments, Props + Injuries

SOLD OUT

Katonah® Yoga as Origami: Exploring Adjustments, Props + Injuries
Sun, April 23, 1 – 6pm

Yoga can be understood as origami for the body. Similar to paper folding in origami, the more we fold in our joint spaces, like a paper crease, the more energy flows through these joint spaces. We use props and adjustments as tools in our practice to help us get just the right fold in order to access the right function.

Most injuries are the result of having set up unconscious patterns, both physically and emotionally, that are maladaptive. Injuries are opportunities in a wider exploration of restoration, homeostasis and longevity, to unearth that piece in each of us that is out of tune, disconnected, overworked or misaligned. Real and lasting change demands a new set of conditions, using formal techniques. In this intensive we will explore how to address injuries and use props and adjustments to set ourselves up for better function. Re-informing the body is never random, it is always technical!
