Your body is your first home. Dwell well in it.

Abode Yoga

Where it all began.

It all started with the unknown desire to truly feel at home in the body. Abode Yoga gained its name from the Katonah Yoga ®️ Body as an Abode meditation, where you map the body through three floors and nine rooms. Allow yourself to experience what it is like to be in each area of your body on the implicit and explicit levels.

Created by Navine Michaan 40 years ago, you will hear themes and metaphors derived from Taoist theory, yoga as origami, and utilizing our form for function. Katonah Yoga emphasizes how you show up on the mat and off the mat. The foundation of this class is built on a vinyasa practice.

FAQs

  • Abode is all about you coming home to yourself in all ways that can mean. There is no right or wrong way to come home to yourself which is what the journey is about. Abode offers both private 1:1 sessions in person at your home (or virtually) and group classes at We The People Fitness Studio here in Chicago.

  • First off, Hi Hello. Wether you are interested in Group Classes or 1:1 private sessions I am are here for you! You don’t have to have previous yoga experience to come to class or opt for the 1:1 experience.

    For group classes, classes are all levels. There are mats available to use but it is encouraged to bring your own. Blocks, bolsters and straps are also provided. Water is encouraged and can be nice to have on hand. For the practice I like to encourage comfortable clothes that you can be dynamic and move in (my favorite is sweatpants!)

    For private 1:1 sessions, I will bring my props to you and if you have props too, great! The more the merrier. For private sessions, all you need is a space that we are able to move in.

  • For all of our group classes we host them out of We The People Fitness Studio located in the Goose Island area of Chicago. Location details will be on your reservation receipt.

    For class, it is “all level”. Meaning you can be new to yoga or have been practicing for years! Our focus is on community and “playing” together.

    For class, it is encouraged to wear clothes you feel comfortable being dynamic in and potentially sweating in. Water can also be nice to have. there is a water dispenser in the space to refill bottles should you need to.

    There are bathrooms on sight for your usage too.
