Form to Embodiment

with Melanie Hyman and Justin Randolph


in Manhattan Beach

February 26-March 1, 2026

Katonah Yoga®️ — A practice of structure, imagination, and transformation

What makes Katonah Yoga®️ unique?

Katonah Yoga®️is system built on structure and imagination—solid enough to hold you, flexible enough to keep evolving.

It’s the grammar behind every pose: stable, shared, yet endlessly open to interpretation. Like a recipe that, once you’ve learned the steps, unfolds into infinite variations. Like the patterns of the universe: once you find the key, you begin to see the order, the rhythm, and how everything, in time, fits and falls into place.


Order and transformation. Rule and invention.


A map that doesn’t just describe a territory but brings it to life through embodiment—guiding you to navigate, reshape each practice, and adapt to any style.

What You Will Learn

Body as Architecture

  • Measure your proportions and adapt postures to your unique structure.
  • Fold and unfold the body like origami — accessing organs, glands & inner space.


Mapping the Inner Terrain

  • Explore the Magic Square to link form, function & personal narrative.
  • Organize time and space — stability within mobility, awareness within range.


Nature, Rhythm & Sequence

  • Design practices aligned with seasons, organs, and emotional cycles.
  • Refine practice through props + partnership to deepen support and clarity.


Language, Imagery & Teaching Transmission

  • Build metaphorical fluency to bridge body and mind through evocative cueing.
  • Transform your teaching — find lightness, precision, and meaningful direction.
