We made a custom PLAYLIST on Spotify to enjoy with this class…

From the saturated soils of winter, Spring emerges with an upward trajectory. The sprout arises to reach for a fiery sun. In this energizing Katonah Class, you'll kick your butt.

Spring correlates to the wood element in Chinese five element theory. Backbending and twisting postures explore the aspirational characteristic of Spring, yet demand tenacity in the roots of the body. Wood that can weather the storm must hold it's ground and pull up it's pliancy from the nourishment of steady ground.

Give yourself permission to ebb and flow, fall in and out of love with the pose. Wood reminds us that reaching up to the big star of the sun originates from a primitive impulse, a fire under our ass.
