BREATH MAGIC: PORTALS TO PRESENCE
with Dages Juvelier Keates
Saturday, November 15th (4-6pm)
Price: $95
In an age of overwhelm, where we are hyperlinked, over-stimulated, and numbed out, breath brings us back to what is most immediate: our own bodies. Breath is anchor, portal, and shared inheritance. Join us for an experiential workshop to explore the Breath Magic cards and book in real time. Together, we’ll practice a range of breathwork techniques while orienting through Katonah Yoga®’s visionary maps.
Why Breathwork?
Breath is the key to the most valuable real estate on the planet: your body. Unlike other autonomic functions, respiration can be consciously directed. With just a few breaths, we can shift mood, regulate the nervous system, influence heart rate, and re-center attention. Breathing is also one of the great equalizers. Every inhale is borrowed from trees, lilacs, seaweed; every exhale feeds the world back. Through breath, we remember our embeddedness in an interconnected, alchemical ecology. The essence is this: we are bound together through breath. All living beings share breath and time, making us equally vulnerable, temporary and precious.
Why Play?
Our dominant condition is overwhelm—too many choices, too much input, not enough time. The Breath Magic deck is designed as a playful antidote. Structured breathwork, whether one breath or one hundred, becomes a game: short, practical, embodied, and effective. Modern science confirms what practitioners feel immediately: breathwork improves focus, relieves anxiety, elevates mood, and enhances sleep and vitality. The deck makes these benefits accessible, portable, and hands-on. Keep the cards by your bed, toss them in your bag, use them before a big meeting or exam. Each card is a chance to re-enter presence and play your way back to balance.
A copy of the Breath Magic deck and companion book is included in your registration.
A hands-on, poetic toolkit of 52 breathing practices (plus wild cards!) that you can carry anywhere. Beautifully designed by Jason Bacasa, each card offers an image, a prompt and a practice to regulate, energize and reorient yourself in the midst of modern life.
This is an IN PERSON training taught at The Studio in NYC.
