What is Body Reading?

Abbie Galvin, founder of The Studio
Nevine Michaan, founder of Katonah Yoga

Metaphor is the language of Katonah Yoga. A body read is an exercise in metaphor. It is not a judgement or a truth, nor is it a way to label and define an individual. Reading the state of a house, a cake, a car, a folded origami design…is not to read the object per se, it is to get an insight of where to begin understanding the formulas, techniques, directives. The first cake might be flat, the car might be low in air in tires, the origami might have a hole and leak. Where one starts, not where one ends.  The goal is to help orient and inform so that through insight, through adjusted techniques one achieves better function, better fit, more ease and joy. - Nevine Michaan

Over time posture changes and reveals everything about you. How you cope with life events, what you over or under use and overall inhabit your body. Try a Private session with one our incredible Katonah Yoga instructors to help you learn more.
