We are thrilled to finally bring you this long-awaited 100-hour training! Kate, Kyle, Christopher, and Alex each have over a decade of teaching experience and have collaborated to create an engaging program that explores a diverse array of subjects, lineages, and approaches in a cohesive and interactive format.

This training is 100% online, and your participation will count for 75 hours of bankable  Katonah yoga credit. 

This training is open to teachers and students of all levels—everyone is welcome!

Topics to be Covered:

• The seasonal dialogue, including personality archetypes, practical tips for conscious embodiment, and achieving harmony within each season, as well as the seasonal movement from yang to yin.

• Creating your own signature 60-minute flow using Kyle’s sequencing framework.

• Imagery for orientation: utilizing your imagination to enhance your posture.

• Katonah Yoga breathwork through the glandular system.

• Sequencing "advanced" asanas for all levels.

• Meditation practices: locating the body in space, developing subtle body awareness, establishing a consistent home practice, and teaching the practice.

• Reclined breathwork over a pranayama bolster.

• Understanding the endocrine system, the functionality of organs and glands (including the lymphatic system), and how these systems are affected during physical activity and breathwork.

• Advanced gross physical anatomy and exploring planes of movement.

• Adapting practices for aging bodies and addressing injury prevention.

• Cardiac and pulmonary considerations when teaching.

• Teaching private sessions based on functional movement.

• Teaching Pedagogy: embracing the teacher's responsibilities, upholding the integrity of the role, and cultivating ease and joy through personal responsibility (with technical/practical lectures and reflection time for students). As a group we’ll investigate the teacher's inner dialogue as it relates to the language we speak, our sequences and and our internal narratives.

• Body Reading: using Katonah Yoga's "Body as a House" concept to identify patterns, cross-reference observations, and apply theory and archetypes to focus on potential rather than damage. 

• Advanced Katonah Practice: using the framework to find fluency, moving with the breath for a well-rounded experience.

• Pranayama: exploring the body as a vehicle metaphor.
