TECHNIQUES
Here you will find ressources and techniques to develop your yoga.
Parfois en français, parfois en anglais. Parfois en texte, en son ou en image.
All these techniques are from Katonah Yoga® a practice created by Nevine Michaan and that I mostly learned with Dages Juvelier Keates.

You’re welcome to chase down the chickens in the yard, or ask Hervé (or one of the dogs!) to take you down a favorite walking path.

LISA FRAIPONT
Lisa is a Katonah Yoga teacher from Brussels, Belgium.
She’s already been teaching hatha yoga for 7 years and found real joy when she discovered Katonah Yoga through Dages Juvelier Keates in Paris in 2018.
She now teaches Katonah Yoga classes and trainings In Brussels and online.
She then immersed herself in the practice and the theory and learned with a lot of different teachers.
When she’s not teaching she loves to swim or to knit all kinds of hats, playing with technique, pattern & repetition ;)
