  • JORDAN REID

    Why do you do what you do: I practice working on being present and connecting with my body. I teach to help facilitate a safe and accessible space for other people to do the same. The feeling of leaving a class so unbothered by the things I can't control or change, and allowing myself the space to forgive, heal, and grow is so intoxicating, and freeing, to be able to provide that same feeling for other people fills my soul with such appreciation and respect for the practice, our breath, and our bodies.

ACUPUNCTURE + SOUND

APRIL 4, SATURDAY

  • EAR ACUPUNCTURE + SOUND BATH

    COMING SOON AT TAOU 2

    Step into a deeply restorative experience designed to calm your nervous system and bring your body back into balance.

    Join us for a unique Ear Acupuncture + Sound Bath Pop-Up, where ancient healing meets vibrational medicine. This immersive offering combines the gentle, targeted support of ear acupuncture with the soothing, meditative frequencies of a sound bath.

    Ear acupuncture (also known as auricular therapy) works with specific points on the ear that correspond to different systems in the body—helping to reduce stress, regulate emotions, improve sleep, and support overall well-being. Once the needles are placed, you’ll be guided into a deeply relaxing sound journey featuring crystal bowls and other healing instruments, allowing your body to soften, release, and reset.

    This experience is perfect if you’re feeling overwhelmed, energetically depleted, or simply craving stillness and reconnection.

  • What to expect:

    – Gentle ear acupuncture or acupressure with seeds to support nervous system regulation (optional)

    – A grounding, immersive sound bath

    – Deep relaxation (many people enter a meditative or sleep-like state)

    – A cozy, supportive space to unwind and receive

    No prior experience with acupuncture or sound baths is needed.

    Come as you are, and leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more aligned.

    The following will be provided: yoga mats, blankets, and bolsters. Feel free to bring an eye mask

  • Cost: $40

    Spots are limited to keep the experience intimate.

ON SPRING : TRAINING

MAY TBD, SATURDAY

  • 12 - 5 PM

    Expect to dive deeper into:

    - Katonah theory through the lens of TCM and Daoism

    - good conversation, questions and journaling

    - 5 Element theory specifically on WINTER and what it's brings us, pranayama, elements, postures and more. 

    Learning about the TCM seasons and 5 elemental theory can provide us with a good framework that we can use as a tool to better understand ourselves, where we are and what we need.

    In this training we will move through a small practice for the season articulating its magic through the practicality of asanas, pranayama and theory of each seasonal element.

    Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) emphasizes the connection between the human body and the natural world, including the changing seasons. Each season (5) in TCM has an attendant organ system, a taste, a color, a personality type and more. 


  • KAT MCCRORY

    To share what I have learned and in the process learn myself, forming us. I artfully craft each teaching experience weaving in who I am, what I have learned, recipes for joy, and imagination. I believe that through this practice we can practically, actively, and consciously move through ourselves, with ourselves, in order to know ourselves better and what it is that we need.

  • Cost:

    $150 | EARLY BIRDIE $100
