Why do you do what you do: Dance is my spark! It has stuck with me ever since I was young, helping to guide me back to myself in all the wildness. Growing up I studied and performed under the company Judith Svalander school of ballet from 2006-2015 in IL. I continued to dance & choreograph in my high school dance team after my company years. After graduating high school & moving to Richmond in 2021, TAOU has been a big part of awakening my passion for dance. I started taking modern classes at TAOU and it helped me make friends in Richmond, meet local dancers & slowly branch out to become a part of the Richmond dance community!
In 2026 I’ve been performing at Richmond Movement center Dream show & Love show events, as well as dancing and choreographing at Dream Haus cabaret shows.

IN SEASON : AUTUMN
NOVEMBER 13, FRIDAY
-
AUG 30 | 5 - 6:30 PM
As the summer days come to an end, we start to feel the lingering heat as we return to the middle (earth) between the two polarities of YANG (Spring + Summer) and YIN (Autumn + Winter). We invite stillness into this transition period, Late summer.
In Chinese medicine, the organs corresponding to this time are the Spleen and the Stomach. The main organs at the wheel of the digestion process. Questions can arise on what are we still digesting? What to store? What to release?
In the transition of summer and autumn take time to nurture yourself, slow down, massage the digestive organs, and more!
YIN YOGA:
Puts stress on areas of the body not stretching. targets the deepest tissues of the body, our connective tissues – ligaments, joints, bones, the deep fascia networks of the body and the meridians. This is contrast to a Yang yoga practice such as Vinyasa yoga which targets the muscles.
Energetically, Yin yoga improves the energy flow, enhancing the flow of chi in the organs.
Remember Yin practice principles:
Come to your appropriate edge (no forcing, no pushing)Soften the outer muscles of the body
Resolve to be still, without shifting position
Hold for longer

KAT MCCRORY
To share what I have learned and in the process learn myself, forming us. I artfully craft each teaching experience weaving in who I am, what I have learned, recipes for joy, and imagination. I believe that through this practice we can practically, actively, and consciously move through ourselves, with ourselves, in order to know ourselves better and what it is that we need.

An invitation to be within your “home.” Step inside yourself and take time to reorient, reorganize, and clean out so that in time, you can have more clarity as to whats ahead.
tune-up for your inner machine.
We don’t fix you — we rinse what’s accumulated.We clear the windshield so you can see where you’re going again.
We'll start class with Katonah Yoga® Inspired breath work to drop in, followed by Katonah Yoga® Theory - breakdown of the magic square, body as a house and dialogue, journaling prompts to dive deeper and end with a sound bath & cozy savasana to soak up all the grace of our efforts.
Spring is full of potential as nature starts to resurface + bloom, we remind ourselves we can resurface, start again, and bloom too. And if there is something in our way or if we are stuck, we have to ask ourselves what do we need, so we can move forward.
To find answers, we have to ask ourselves questions.

Yoga nidra, also known as yogic sleep, is a guided meditation practice that aims to induce a state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep. It's a form of deep relaxation that combines guided imagery with the yoga posture Shavasana (corpse pose). The goal is to achieve a state of restful awareness, often described as a bridge between waking and sleeping, where the body experiences deep relaxation while the mind remains conscious.
