KATONAH YOGA
Melinda Marino
Join Willis Johnston for this invigorating 2-hour Katonah Yoga
Masterclass which will explore the season of Summer through the lens
of Asana practice, Chinese Medicine theory, and more! Summer is related
to the element of FIRE, and is all about community, contact, and joy!
Find your third hand as you explore backbends with yourself on your mat,
as well as with others in partner work—we learn in reflection with others.
Willis's bio:
Willis has been drawn to movement since childhood, finding freedom, joy,
and peace through dance. He earned a BFA in Dance Performance from
SMU and performed professionally with the Metropolitan Opera, The Chase
Brock Experience, and Cirque du Soleil in New York City and Las Vegas.
In 2009, he discovered yoga as a way to navigate the physical and mental
demands of his dance career. After the passing of his mother, he shifted paths
and moved to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, completing his 200-hour teacher training
with Anna Laurita in 2014 and later advancing his studies with Noah Mazé.
Willis then embarked on a Katonah Yoga certification and is now a mentor with
the Katonah Yoga Center.
Willis leads classes, workshops, and trainings at his studio Flying Heart Yoga in
Puerto Vallarta, and retreats around the globe.
He sees yoga as a powerful tool for both personal and collective transformation.
