Katonah Yoga® Immersion: Orientation & Techniques
November 12th - November 15th • Volume, Berlin- , Germany • Taught by Lisa Fraipont & Sarah Isabel
Some trainings teach information.
This training teaches orientation.
Together, Lisa and Sarah bring their unique methodologies into one immersive experience that blends Katonah Yoga®, movement education, breathwork, body reading, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and practical tools for everyday life.
Over four days, you will learn how to better understand the patterns that shape your body, mind, and behavior—and how to work with them intelligently.
This is not about fixing yourself.
It is about learning to read yourself.
Understanding where you are.
Recognizing what supports you.
And developing tools that create meaningful change.
Perspective • Body • Breath • Pattern
Most people know what they should do.
Few people know how to do it consistently.
The Toolbox bridges that gap.
What makes this training different?
Through movement, breath, observation, philosophy, and practical application, you'll learn how to:
Recognize physical and psychological patterns
Regulate your nervous system
Understand the relationship between structure and function
Work with the Five Elements as a map for life
Use breath as a tool for resilience
Develop greater agency during times of change
Build a personal toolbox you can use on and off the mat
The Four Pillars
-
Structure: The Magic Square & The Art of Orientation
The Magic Square is one of the foundational maps in Katonah Yoga. Through numbers, directions, and spatial awareness, we explore how to orient ourselves within our own bodily territory and our lives.
-
Perspective: Props as Teachers Chairs, Poles & al
Props are not merely supports but teaching tools that reveal structure, create feedback and offer opportunities for self-adjustment.
We will investigate how chairs, poles, blocks, blankets and straps can create clarity, stability and intelligence within the body.
-
Pattern: Body Reading & The Five Elements
The body tells a story. Through observation and pattern recognition we learn how to get curious with the body, identify our strengths and habits. Body reading allows us to apply the theory and weave in metaphors and images as we organise the body in a new way.
Combined with the Five Element Theory and Five Movements, you will explore energetic and structural patterns that influence both the personal and the universal through our own practice and our teaching.
-
Breath: Pranayama, Restorative Practice & Meditation
The final day explores practices that cultivate receptivity, recovery and perspective.
Through restorative setups pranayama and meditation techniques, participants will learn how to create practices that regulate the nervous system and encourage deeper internal organization.
