Katonah Yoga® Immersion Weekend with Abbie Galvin
3 EXTENDED PRACTICES + (2) 5HR INTENSIVES
Guest Teacher
Abbie Galvin is the owner of The Studio, a NYC based yoga studio, teaching Katonah Yoga. She has been honing this practice for the past 25 years and has a strong student-base from all around the world. To register for the full weekend (5 sessions, 17 hours) at the discounted rate of $450, use the link below. Students may join for individual sessions as well. Scroll down for individual session registration.
Abbie’s instruction is informed by her own creative process as a filmmaker and from her exploration of the therapeutic process as a psychoanalyst. She has learned over and over that truly participating in any formal process of self-exploration leads to transformation whether it be physical, psychological or intellectual. Her goal is to engage students of yoga in the dialogue between their conscious and their unconscious selves because it is through that effort that we potentiate ourselves. It is her intention as a teacher to cajole each student in that most rigorous effort to be grounded, to grow upwards, and to participate in the creation of their best self.
KATONAH YOGA® is a syncretic Hatha yoga practice developed by Nevine Michaan of Katonah Yoga Center over 40 years. She and her teachers incorporate classical Hatha yoga with Taoist theory, geometry, magic, mythology, metaphor, and imagination — in a practical framework designed to potentiate personal and communal well-being. Framing the practice, maps of time and personal space are defined and refined. Themes using asana as origami, manipulating form for function, and developing a sense of personal measure are incorporated in Katonah Yoga practices. Katonah Yoga is organized around three principles of esoteric dialogue: all polarities are mediated by trinity; the universe has pattern, pattern belies intelligence; by virtue of repetition there is potential for insight. Disciplined techniques are organized for revelation through revolutions.
3 Extended Practices, (2) 5hr Intensives (detailed below) Please book confidently, no refunds after 1/1/24.
Location: Citizen Yoga Detroit
300HR students are eligible for a discounted rate. Please contact Elyse@citizenyogastudio.com to register.
EXTENDED PRACTICE: KATONAH RESTORATIVE
Friday, February 9, 2024 | 5:30-7:30pm
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.

EXTENDED PRACTICE: KATONAH YOGA ASANA + PRANAYAMA
Saturday, February 10 | 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 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.
