Saturday & Sunday, December 6 & 7, 2025 from 12pm-5pm
with Kate Hansen at PYP-DOWNTOWN
During a therapeutic private we are working with one's personal physiology as a way to help organize, potentiate and harmonize towards individual well-being, ease and joy.
This workshop will focus on techniques that are supportive for both yourself and your client or student. We will cover adjustments, body reading and how to cater each session in a way that is empowering and helpful for each individual based on their physiology in the moment.
Whether you are simply curious about offering private sessions or have been working with individuals for a while, this workshop will offer you hands-on experience, the confidence to adjust others with safety and techniques that best serve the needs of different scenarios.
We will cover:
How to use the Lo-Shu and Katonah Yoga Magic Square as a map of the body and personal orientation
Hands on adjustments and approaches for safe and supportive contact
Breakdown of frequently used poses along with their adjustments, modifications and ways to evolve each pose depending on the mobility of your student and client
Organizing and approaching sessions in a way that prioritizes both yourself and your student or client
Working with injuries and those who may have limited mobility
Use of props and hands on experience with chairs, straps, blocks, blankets and sandbags
Why prioritizing potential and joy is important
About Kate
Kate's love for yoga began about 10 years ago while living in NY. After a few years of being in search of something that would help her move through life with more physicality, ease and health she quickly fell for the practice after experiencing the ways in which it was supporting and helping different aspects of her life. Growing up an athlete, her love for the physicality of it all is certainly at the core of her appreciation for the practice, however as she's moved through life, her experience with the ways in which it supports and feeds her imagination has been the most fun. She is currently in NY and travels a lot, you can find her online teaching and other offerings here.
