If you are new to the Katonah Yoga material our time together will serve perfectly as an introductory. This training is for EVERYONE. Especially up and coming Katonah Yoga teachers and those seeking new structure in their daily lives. The unique synthesis of Katonah Yoga is to be woven into your already current life/tradition.

YOU ARE WHOLE.  A holon, which is a whole, complete; entire, unto itself (personal) that is simultaneously part of a greater whole (universal.) To work with this we subdivide, as in the Chinese System, your first nature, Yin, your second nature Yang and their intersecting channel of your third nature, Your Soul/Spirit. "The intersection of the macro universe and micro (you) will create a gate, or a door. Lao Tzu called this the door to all wonders. This is where Yin and Yang merge harmoniously. This is also called the middle way. It is only when the formed learns from the unformed that there is Under Standing." Tao Te Ching

Over this intensive, our emphasis will be to unify: to work with the wholistic nature of great nature, ourselves and the Katonah Yoga material. We will deconstruct and reassemble. From the magic in number, pattern, measure and metaphor, the power of the skillful manipulation of You in time and space, to the Chinese intelligence/medicine of the seasons woven with the pragmatic mysticism of Tao, we will Orient and Organize ourselves via the territorial wisdom of Nevine Michaan, formalize our fit to up our function, define our interior and distill this and more into the pragmatic tools and techniques which bring it all into You, where it is designed to be Worn, Used, Lived, and in-time Embodied. All in an aim of becoming more

evenly developed, freely functional, consistent, wholistic, women, men, teachers, parents, partners, friends.

To wander this territory successfully, our tools will be good maps, pragmatic calculable technique, supportive theoretical material and of course your body, breath and a keen imagination and perhaps most of all, a conscious unbroken current of Your Self. We will move through positioning, pranayama, meditation and one another.

EVERYTHING PROVIDES INSIGHT via Intersection. For every line you extend, there is a curve in the waiting to make it whole~ Ivy Ray

FIRST HALF: Our emphasis will be You into the communal, culture, the world. The Yang of you, the more active Solar principle. Your 2nd Nature. The Daily Test Drive. Simply put: Yang is the masculine principal, its agency extends out, touches all and is to be known, it is considered superficial.

In the world, the ongoing insight is You in relation to things, others, systems. You are continually being shown how well you intersect, articulate, cooperate, collaborate, how quickly you can shift gears, change course, change mind, navigate territory, be timely. You are called upon to manage space, time, circumstance, others and always your self. We will work with the pragmatic fundamental positioning that supports and grows your mobility, ability, virility, safety and senses in the world.

SECOND HALF: Our emphasis will be You in relation to yourself,  the Yin of You, the more receptive subtle yet equally as powerful Lunar Principal, Yin is deep, dark, still, its agency is to dissolve into nothing.  The primary vehicle for this is Practicing in Solitude where the insight is you in relation to you and how you intersect with your interpersonal relationships; family, significant other, dear friends.

Practicing in solitude is the birthplace of your continued emergence and the growing ground that spawns the quality and sensibility of the self you take into life. This is where you remember, reorder, reclaim, where you restore, replenish, refine. The sacred space for when things fall apart. Likewise, Its where you kick your own butt, justly study who you are, daily fill your own cup to runneth over so you don't give from your own resources. Lastly, its a wealth of opportunity to simply figure stuff out, refine your form, work on what you’ve lost, develop what you’ve never had and give yourself what you need, as its all ultimately your job. Your solo practice is yours and is developed by your design. It evolves as you, the seasons, your life and your needs change. 

YOU AS WHOLE: First Nature, Innate Inherited, Second Nature, through effort and time, your learning Your education Third Nature, What you choose to do with it all. Thrice threaded makes a braid, a trinity of You, eventually as One Taste, Interrelated, Ever Emergent, Complete, All ongoing through Great Nature and every moment of your Life.

All hours with Ivy Ray go toward your Katonah Yoga Certification.
