Much of the theory we use in Katonah Yoga practice is based on ancient principles of Taoism. We use theory to support living in a body with more imagination, perception and insight. Taoism challenges us to release our personal grasp on reality and attune ourselves to the universal laws of the natural world. In this training, we will explore how Katonah Yoga integrates Taoist theory through the lens of great nature. We will consider natural processes and constructions, Katonah Yoga maps and glyphs (including the Magic Square) and their relation to Taoist thought. We will move through invigorating asana, inspiring pranayama, and insightful meditation practices.

Things to expect:

  • Katonah Yoga asana and pranayama practices

  • Taoism and Katonah Yoga theory

  • Chinese medicine concepts

  • Taoist meditation
