Number Magic + Breathwork

with Nevine Michaan

Who is Nevine Michaan?

Founder of Katonah Yoga

Nevine Michaan, founder and creator of Katonah® Yoga, possesses a gift for teaching both the physical and esoteric aspects of yoga. Many consider her a philosopher, poet, and seer. Her methods are articulated with intelligence, metaphor, and meaning, entwining body, breath, and imagination.


Nevine’s unique dialogue and insight are matched by her extraordinary ability to convey her keen acumen. Born in Egypt in 1954, Michaan moved to New York at age three. While studying history and comparative religion at Vassar College, she discovered meditation. She came to understand that yoga is a tool, a technique, and a practice of repetition that allows us to participate in life with intelligence and joy. In the 1970s she began daily practice in NYC with Allan Bateman, immersing herself in what became her life’s work.


Teaching since 1980, she founded the Katonah Yoga Center in 1986. Nevine continues to teach and inspire students from around the world.
