KATONAH YOGA®
TACOMA
Katonah Yoga® is a Hatha yoga practice, founded by Nevine Michaan and refined over forty years, blended with Taoist theory, geometry, pranayama, and meditation. The style has been described as sacred geometry for the body. We use form and metaphor to help us explore and organize our internal landscape to we can meet ourselves and navigate the world with more joy, grace, gratitude and efficient, disciplined use of our own energy. Practices may include asana, pranayama, restorative / reformative postures and body readings. Class will not be heated, and while we may occasionally use music, it will play a secondary role. While this style is particularly loved by yoga teachers and those with formal movement backgrounds, it is open to everyone!

CANDLELIT VINYASA

HOT YOGA SCULPT
FEDERAL WAY
This is a high energy, muscularly challenging class where our experienced and encouraging teachers will guide you through a series of movements designed to strengthen your body. You may be sore days later, but there will be no regrets! Great music keeps the beat and almost covers the groans as we suffer and build strength and resilience together. We may use weights, resistance bands, and eventually balls and TRX bands to increase the intensity of movements like lunges and squats, rows and curls, planks and sit-ups. Everything is modifiable and you are very much encouraged to listen to your body, take breaks as needed, and you are always welcome to not use weights if you would prefer. The room will be lightly heated, so come prepared to leave sweaty and smiling.
