"A place to escape the everyday life and to simply be. A place to un-learn certain things and re-learn what is important in life, compassion, kindness, acceptance, change, stillness and self-love. Using our strength in movement and breath as an aid to remind ourselves of these things through every inch of the body. It’s a happy place."

"For me, Yoga is about combining the trinity of mind body and breath in order to stay present.a thing my teacher likes to say that really stuck with me was: „you’re not just a mind in the office and a body on the mat, you’re always everything.“ this is why in katonah Yoga we‘re working with psychology through physiology by virtue of imagination and metaphor. one of the biggest metaphors is the body as a house. it’s not a temple, it’s a house. and the goal of the practice becomes to make it your home, cleaning up every room and making it a place you enjoy being in."

"Journey back to the inner temple as one of my teachers says - when we start to move away from the obsession of the outermost layer of ‘ourselves’ and return in."

"Yoga is the practice of connecting - with our bodies, our feelings, our inner selves. It helps us find joy in everyday moments - moving freely, breathing together, exploring with curiosity! I can’t wait to practice with you."
MASCHA
"To me yoga is a practice of kindness - towards myself and others. It is a way to direct my attention inward, to be present and to transform my perception which ultimately influences every part of my life."

"The role of yoga has changed throughout my life, with a common underlying thread - its capacity to heal. In the beginning this healing was mostly on a physical level, and gradually, it morphed into healing on a deeper level, teaching me how to listen and soften.I think that’s why I still love teaching so much, because of the potential the practice holds.It can bring us structure and discipline, but should also give us the space to get on the mat and hold ourselves with kindness."

"Yoga has been a companion for me across various life transitions. It held my hand through some of the darkest and heaviest times, was like a bestie in the lighter moments and stayed consistent in all the spaces in between.
It taught me that home is in my body, when I feel connected to myself, my thoughts, my feelings. It shows me consistently, that life is always going to be shifting and changing, and it gives me the tools to thrive in the uncertainty of the unknown. I love to share the practice and teachings with others, as it gives me clarity and insights into my own healing. My students are a mirror for me and the practice is constantly humbling and unfolding.”

"To practise yoga is like learning how to ride the bycicle of life to me - enabling you to connect with your true nature (love), getting to know yourself on different levels (body, mind & spirit), trusting yourself to ride an authentic path lead by your inner compass (intuition), towards your soul's purpose (meaning in life)."
