Private Katonah Yoga in Ridgewood, Queens
Understand your alignment through the lens of geometry. Private Katonah Yoga and restorative sessions that make your body feel organized, spacious and at ease.
The practice
Alignment through the lens of sacred geometry
Katonah Yoga is a Hatha-based practice that treats each pose as a shape to organize yourself within. Using geometry, metaphor and props, it turns alignment from a list of rules into something you can see and feel.
Amelia teaches the practice with a dancer's sense of space and a kinesiologist's understanding of anatomy. Her guiding idea is to find intuition in movement and oscillate between your center and your circumference.
- Clearer, more confident alignment in every pose
- Mobility and openness without forcing
- Breath-led practice that steadies the nervous system
- Restorative sessions for rest, recovery and stress

FAQ
Katonah Yoga: common questions
What is Katonah Yoga?
Katonah Yoga is a Hatha-based practice that uses geometry, metaphor and props to understand alignment. Poses are treated as shapes you organize your body within, which makes it practical for anyone who wants to understand how they are put together.
Can one session mix Pilates and yoga?
Yes. Many clients combine mat Pilates for core strength and control with Katonah Yoga or restorative work for alignment and mobility. Tell Amelia what you are after and she will shape the session around it.
Is Katonah Yoga good for beginners?
Yes. Because Katonah Yoga emphasizes understanding shapes and using props, it is very approachable in a private setting. Amelia explains the why behind each position so you can practice with confidence.
Do you offer restorative yoga?
Yes. Restorative work can be a full session or woven into a Katonah or Pilates session, using supported positions and breath to calm the nervous system and help the body recover.

Studio sessions are $125 for 45 minutes, house visits are $150 for 45 minutes and online sessions are $100 for 45 minutes. Each additional 15 minutes is $25, and sessions can run up to 90 minutes. Small groups of 2–3 people are the same rate as a private session.
What do I need for an online session?
A mat, enough floor space to lie down with your arms overhead, and a phone or laptop placed so your whole body is visible. Amelia will suggest household items to use as props.
