Join Dages Juvelier Keates for an immersive Katonah Yoga intensive at the threshold of spring, fresh light, and new beginnings!

We'll weave rigorous practice with hands-on adjustments, breathwork, metaphor, and imagination. Asana is origami for the body: as we fold and unfold joint space, we find form, function, and the pleasure of intelligent effort.

No matter who you are, you fit yourself well. Your knees can fit your armpits, your feet behind your head, your heels into your palms. Using these fits functionally, you train your practice to be as revelatory as spring itself—a season of radical rebecoming. This weekend offers practical frameworks for communal well-being without shoehorning yourself into idealized shapes. We use forms for self-discovery, not perfection; we cultivate rather than force.

Alignment-focused and theory-forward, this training explores Katonah Yoga's unique synthesis of somatic mapping, subtle body anatomies, and esoteric geometry. We'll work with the Magic Square (Lo Shu) as navigational tool, the body-as-house metaphor, and breathwork designed for the attention economy—stealth self-care practices you can take anywhere, seed work for daily life.

This training is offered to teachers and practitioners alike.

Yoga is invisible, there are no levels, and you are most welcome exactly as you are.

Master classes are extended personal laboratories for mobility, stability, and refinement—deep, satisfying practices that flush your organs and bring the release that comes through sustained attention. Like spring's insistence on emergence, we work with what wants to unfold.

Workshops train practitioners in seasonal Katonah methodology through precise hands-on work and theory application.

About Dages:

Dages Juvelier Keates is a teacher, writer, and artist whose work explores embodiment as a practice of holding paradox. A senior Katonah Yoga educator with accreditations in Bihar, Kundalini (3HO), and Katonah Yoga lineages, she has been teaching breath and movement practices for over twenty years internationally.

Her transdisciplinary practice spans movement pedagogy, breathwork, dramaturgy, and writing, drawing from somatics, psychoanalysis, Five Element Theory, Western herbalism, and Kabbalistic mysticism. Since 2012, her syncretic teaching has been profoundly shaped by her mentor Nevine Michaan, founder of Katonah Yoga. Her practice is rooted in a lifetime of dancing and professional collaboration with artists including Faye Driscoll, David Gordon, and Noémie Lafrance.

She is the author of “Breath Magic: Portals to Presence” (2025) and “Radical Acts of Embodiment: Teaching and Practices of Katonah Yoga” (2018), which has been sold in 12 countries worldwide and has quietly become foundational reading in Katonah Yoga studios globally. Her breathwork methodology emphasizes "stealth self-care"—techniques designed for the attention economy that can be practiced anywhere. Coming to this work through her own experiences with anxiety, dissociation, and trauma, she develops methodologies for making ancient practices portable, accessible, and politically relevant.

She holds a BA in dance from Bard College, a transdisciplinary MA from NYU, and an Advanced Master's from Sint Lucas Antwerpen. She is currently a candidate at Pulsion: The International Institute of Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Psychosomatics and lives in New York City.
