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 to share techniques and find the ping of joy in the French countryside
July 30th - August 4th
with Lisa Fraipont and Aly Beveridge
Join Lisa and Aly for a Practice Week celebrating the joys of community, time, and practice deep in the French countryside. We hope to uncover insights through daily repetition and feel the ping of joy from practicing in a beautiful space together. In fact, the inspiration for this week came from the beautiful stone walls of the Dojo where we get to practice together.
Expect daily meditation, yoga, and lots of Katonah theory. We will play with and adjust our bodies, minds, and expectations through the week and you’ll be sure to leave with new or revisited recipes for joy. Expect one or two surprises during our time together, including from our delightful hosts Catherine and Hervé who will welcome us in their charmingly restored Domaine.
When we aren’t practicing together, we will find time to wander to a nearby cognac distillery, play games together in the cozy living room, or simply lounge by the pool. 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.
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 Jarnac and we'll arrange a shuttle 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 loves to swim or to knit all kinds of hats, playing with technique, pattern & repetition ;)
