Together we'll explore practices to nourish and coax you home to your inner knowing and core self. 

The Returning

A 5 week exploration of the teachings of yoga, mythology and folktales, exploring themes of elderhood, crone medicine, facing our shadow, and more. Nourishing yoga classes, writing prompts, and inner explorations.

 

The Returning 

 

5 modules of deep study to coax you back to your soul, to your inner knowing, to the bone memory that holds us. 

In this course we'll explore how the crone is the one that sees with clarity, how as we learn to see and embrace life in its fullness we expand our generosity of seeing. 

The course will take you through twice weekly 90 minute yoga classes weaving folklore and yoga teachings into embodied practice. You'll also enjoy a weekly pranayama (breath) practice, and a weekly audio teaching accompanied by writing prompts to take you further. 

Beloved you must live for you. You must connect with your inner gifts and core self and offer that medicine back outward. 

This course is a sweet exploration of the teachings of the crone, of touching our elderhood, and willingly exploring our shadows and our gifts. 

You are invited. 

Many of us have gone through seasons of destruction. This is the nature of things. Of Great Nature. We cycle. From birth to creation to destruction and back again. This is how it is. And yet often in the seasons of destruction and massive shift we can find ourselves with the rug pulled out from under our feet, we can feel like there's nowhere to turn. Beloved we sustain through these seasons, we emerge from them, we return by creating personal refuge.

The beauty is our refuge is within. We can be our own sanctuary.

Let's fortify our center, find our moving middle. Learn how to get off center and how to find our way back in.

The program includes lifetime access so you may return to the classes and teachings.

You will receive immediate access to the course platform and all modules though they should be completed in order. Each module has a downloadable guide, an audio recording, two yoga classes, and a pranayama class. 

There are additionally bonus asana classes woven into the program. 

All levels of practitioners are invited and welcome to savor these movement practices. 

The development of our inner landscape is a great act of altruism.

You are invited to take the long road through time, to explore stories that hold us, and  teach us to live.  

MYTH AND STORY

 

Myth teaches us how to live, we map ourselves in these ancient stories. They are the "bone memory" (Martin Shaw) that holds us.

Good stories break the spell of the cultural mother and all of the "you ought to be's." 

You will cozy up and listen to a tale or two, and in time as you listen again and again the stories will keep revealing themselves to you if you're keen to listen to their whispers. 

YOGA ASANA

 

Artfully sequenced yoga classes anchored in Katonah Yoga™, Chinese Medicine, and Ayurveda. 

Savor asana classes created with intention to nourish you, to inspire you, and to shift your chemistry and your state. 

Practitioners of all levels are welcome here. This is an invitation to a deep home practice that grows you. 

Breath & Mind

 

In your weekly sessions you will practice nourishing breathwork, somatic movement explorations, and meditation.

Additionally you will receive a weekly audio teaching and writing prompts to serve your private work and to uncover your inner wisdom and knowing.
