Training/Teachers
I have been teaching for 10 years within greater New York City and Wisconsin and have over 1500 hours of training in vinyasa, Yin, traditional hot, and trauma-informed yoga. I am a certified Katonah Yoga® teacher*.
I am especially grateful to the following studios and teachers for the foundations and furthering of my education:
Katonah Yoga
Nevine Michaan
Laughing Lotus
Liberation Prison Yoga
OMSchooled
Chae Costello
Brian Nygard
Lindsay Dombrowski
Dages Juvelier Keates
Be Shakti
Melissa French
Alex Auder
I currently love taking classes online or in person from:
Bethany Leigh (her yin trainings are incredible, whether you’re a teacher or not)
Whether you are new to yoga or not, I recommend learning from the wealth of material Susannah Barkataki provides in regards to the origins and ethics of yoga. Susannah’s offerings have helped me to confront the inevitable appropriation white yoga teachers commit when we teach yoga. Please check out her instagram account for some necessary unlearning.
*Katonah Yoga® is a syncretic Hatha yoga practice developed by Nevine Michaan
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.
