All 30 hours count towards Katonah Yoga® Certification

This time and training focuses on the basics of Katonah Yoga: learning the language, the maps, and the tools that allow you to skillfully maintain your practice and your life. Through repetition, inquiry, and reflection, you begin to recognize cause and effect, effort and ease, containment and expansion.

Expect to dive deeper into:

• Questions and journaling

• Backbending Workshop

• Restorative Workshop

• Magic Square

• Sun & Moon Salutations

• Regular practices

• Breathwork practices

• Philosophy, seasons

It is about learning how to tend the space you live in.

There is freedom in structure. Wen the house is well kept, you can live and move more freely through it.

Kat - a Katonah Yoga® teacher + more. By exploring and teaching Katonah yoga, TCM, seasonal themes, and more, she aims to offer others a meaningful framework for understanding the connection between the external world and their internal experience. In doing so, she hopes to help people gain insight into their inner landscape by observing the rhythms of the natural world around them.

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.

Ben Kalra (E-RYT 500, YACEP) is a yoga teacher based in North Carolina who travels internationally to lead trainings, workshops, and retreats. His teaching blends classical yoga philosophy with a creative approach to asana that emphasizes structure, imagination, and alignment.

He is a Katonah Yoga® teacher and continues to study with his mentor Abbie Galvin. He has also completed two 300-hour advanced yoga trainings through Shivakali Yoga and with Jonah Kest, deepening his skills in Vinyasa, pranayama, and meditation. While he primarily teaches in-person, Ben has also recorded online classes and courses for platforms including YogaRenew, Better Yoga, The Studio NYC, Sadhaka Studio, and Afternoon Yoga.

His teaching style is both serious and lighthearted. Ben views yoga as a slow-burning practice of liberation and as a tool for living well in a body and in the world. He believes good teaching should be clear, grounded, and occasionally humorous. He uses adjustments, props, and metaphor to help students cultivate a meaningful practice.

When the mat is rolled up, Ben enjoys photography, baking, and poetry. If you’d like to connect, you can reach him at ben-kalra.com/contact.

The techniques underpinning the Katonah practices come from classical Hatha yoga, Taoist yoga and the panpyschic vision belonging to western esoteric philosophy.

The language of Katonah is metaphor and analogy; identifying the body as the abode, exploring the body as one’s instrument, the mind as the musician and the breath as the melody. The power of analogy allows the individual to use life experiences to define the personal and understand the collective.

The Katonah practices use the keys of breathwork to enter into states of meditation. Breathwork is incredibly accessible, practical, magical and transformative.

The practices of yoga transcend culture. We encourage self discipline, self responsibility, self actualization. The ultimate goals are empowerment, gratitude and graceful use of efforts.
