RENI BICKEL
WHAT DREW YOU TO KATONAH YOGA?
The intelligence and comprehensiveness of it. It helps us to encounter everyday life with well thought out recipes of yogic techniques and a big enough portion of mysticism to let our imagination fly.
HOW HAS KATONAH CHANGED YOUR PRACTICE & TEACHING?
My mind has become more clear and engaged in the physical practice. My body is lighter, bouncier and I am able to manifest my life’s projects with more grace and accuracy. As for teaching, I have developed the ability to see, queue and touch my students with confidence, now owning a solid toolset of hands-on adjustments, while integrating theory with depth and coherence.
HOW HAVE YOU SEEN KATONAH CHANGE STUDENTS?
I see it everyday. There is an instant change that happens when physical form is corrected. Then, the breath or energy flow more efficiently and freely throughout the body, changing one's perception and expression in the very moment. Over time and with steady practice, real structural changes in our physiology and psychology happen inevitably.
“Come with an open mind, allow the information to sink in and be ready for the change!”
“Reni was amazing! First time taking this class and her first hand adjustments were incredible. A truly amazing restorative class!”
“This was the best restorative class I’ve ever taken. Definitely more active than other classes but you’ll leave feeling genuinely restored.”
“My first time taking a class with, Reni. She was just wonderful. Great adjustments, lovely selection of restorative asanas.”
