Description

The premier destination for Katonah Yoga© in Kiel!
Katonah Yoga© is a variation of Hatha Yoga—founded by Nevine Michaan in New York. It combines dynamic practices from Kundalini Yoga with longer-held poses from Iyengar Yoga—properly aligned using props such as blocks, cushions, blankets, and straps—all grounded in the philosophy of Chinese medicine. Katonah Yoga uses metaphors that are accessible to everyone to activate your imagination—here, body, mind, and breath are practically connected, allowing you to easily enter a state of meditation.
Ideally, precise alignment will help you step out of your habits and back into your body.

My classes are suitable for everyone—whether you’ve been practicing yoga for a while or are just starting out. Everything else will fall into place during my classes. Since I teach only a small group of no more than 10–12 people, I’ll be able to see you clearly in class and provide support and variations. Come as you are!

I always teach outside of school breaks in my small studio located in the beautiful old farmhouse at Russeer Weg 45:

Mondays
5:30–6:45 p.m. or 7:00–8:15 p.m.
Katonah Yoga based on the 5-element theory and the seasons (sometimes other themes as well)

Wednesdays:
5:15–6:30 p.m.
Therapeutic Yoga
(Focus on good, healthy alignment and the nervous system)

Fridays
8:15–9:15 a.m.
Katonah Yoga Breathwork & Movement—start your day centered

Occasionally, there are special classes and workshops on weekends or at other times outside the regular schedule. If you’re interested, feel free to contact me and I’ll add you to my mailing list.

Upcoming events:

September 19–20, 2026, 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. Workshop: “The Body as a House”
Using the ingenious geometry and philosophy of Katonah Yoga, we’ll explore the concept of the house: You’ll learn the significance of the 3 floors and 9 rooms of your body.

Oct. 3, 2026: “Autumn Magic” Day Retreat, 10 a.m.–6 p.m.
As the leaves fall and nature retreats to the essentials, autumn invites us to do the same. During my “Autumn Magic” day retreat, we’ll use the structured magic of Katonah Yoga to consciously navigate the transition into this season.
Includes: Katonah Yoga, breathing exercises, tips for maintaining well-being in the fall based on Chinese medicine—including self-acupressure and nutritional advice.

I also offer private sessions. Appointments can be arranged personally, and as a Hansefit member, you’ll receive a €15 discount.
