5 HOUR INTENSIVE - CONTACT
with Alex Sharry

Saturday & Sunday, October 23rd-24th (12-2:30pm EST)
Price: $125 in person / $75 on zoom

5 Hours bankable toward your Katonah Yoga® Certification.

Contact is an art form. Touch, touching, receiving touch, conversation, non-verbal communication and cueing are some of the ways we experience intimacy. Contact functions as a technique to animate a relationship and a yoga pose. Contact builds trust, it’s the way you soothe someone’s heart, re-direct one’s neurology, swat someone away from you and invite someone in. Going a year and a half without our usual influx of touch has taught us a lot about the way we receive and make contact - that one size certainly does not fit all and that while contact in the form of handling bodies can be seen as a technical endeavor chock full of one’s refined compensatory skill, healing touch is reliant on your ability to see and be seen.  

In this intensive we will:

• Practice adjustments, learning to use leverage instead of muscle 

• Enrich and explore verbal cueing 

• Discuss the art of giving and receiving feedback

• Refine prop use and technique (smoothing out any clunkiness)

• Build confidence around injuries and practice-related resistance

• Explore ways in which we can make hearty, healthy healing connections with our students and teachers

IN PERSON attendees are limited to 10 students and must be fully vaccinated in order to participate.

ZOOM attendees will receive a zoom link via email one hour before the start of each session. Recordings available upon request. Email info@thestudio.yoga after the session to request.

Please book confidently, no refunds granted.
