Katonah Yoga® is the framework I use to give my coaching its structure:

Founded by Nevine Michaan, Katonah Yoga blends classical Hatha yoga, Taoist wisdom, sacred geometry, and metaphor. Props such as blocks, straps, walls, blankets, and chairs are used creatively to support access, reveal structure, and refine intelligence in the pose. The practice also invites us to read the body as a map.

At its heart is the recognition that nature moves through cycles and seasons, and the human body—as nature in personal form—follows those same principles. When we understand the pattern, we participate more gracefully in change. Through repetition, skill, and imagination, we learn to compose ourselves more beautifully. We learn that the same body can be arranged in countless ways, just as the same notes can become symphony, jazz, prayer, or lullaby. Nevine says, ‘The body is the instrument, the mind the musician, the breath the tone. We play music, learn music, and listen to music to soothe the soul—both the personal soul and the collective one.’

Over time, I have developed a coaching practice that has become a language of fluency, a way to reorganise energy, to cultivate resilience, and meet life with more steadiness. It is a sophisticated and imaginative living system of self-understanding.

Together we can explore practical biomechanics, breath, intelligent alignment, mindfulness, and quiet moments where you restore, recover and nourish. Inside these rhythms, we can organise a new set of relationships: between effort and ease, structure and freedom, parts and whole, self and world.

These techniques offer you the freedom to participate consciously in the unfolding of your own life.
