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.

🏚 PRACTICE WEEK 🏚
6 days of sharing techniques to play with the building blocks of you practice in the French countryside
August 1st - 6th
with Lisa Fraipont and Aly Beveridge
During the week we will build the foundations of your practice through daily yoga, meditation, breathwork, imagination, and mobility.
We will share techniques for designing and building your own home practice and reflect together on the meaning of a practice – whether movement forward or not, whether communal or personal.
We will tend to the real estate of our body and we will play with concepts
of effort and ease.
Le Dojo du Plessis is surrounded by the quiet and bucolic setting of the southwest French countryside. The inspiration for this Practice Week was the beautiful stone walls of the yoga room where we will create a container for exploration.
It won’t only be yoga and meditation. You'll have plenty of time to swim in the pool, lounge in the garden, or even to take a Japanese fire-heated bath or relax in the sauna in the evening.
Our goal is to find a balance between the effort of an intense week of practice and the grace of ample time to relax.
Together we will gather for a week of joy, community, rest and exploration immersed in the scenery of peak French summer.
WHERE : Le Dojo du Plessis is located in Charentes, in the middle of vineyards, woods and small valleys. Halfway between Cognac and Angoulême, 10 km from Jarnac.
You can take the train to Augoûleme or Jarnac and we'll arrange shuttles, or come straight to the Dojo with your car.

ABOUT US
ALY BEVERIDGE
Aly is a chef and yoga teacher based in Copenhagen Denmark. She has trained with teachers all over the world in a diverse range of practices from katonah to ashtanga yoga, transcendental meditation to vipassana, vedic pranayama to nordic winter bathing. She weaves elements of these diverse lineages into her practice and teaching. During the week she will be co-leading meditative practice with Lisa and teaching dynamic asana with integrated pranayama (aka vinyasa). For Aly the purpose of practice is not about completing another check on a to-do list, but rather about using the tools for wellbeing to live a more full, engaged, and conscious life.
LISA FRAIPONT
Lisa is a Katonah Yoga teacher from Brussels, Belgium.
She’s 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 then immersed herself in the practice and the theory and learned with a lot of different teachers.
When she’s not teaching she love to bake sourdough bread or to knit all kinds of hats, playing with technique, pattern & repetition ;)
