Is this a one-off class or part of a series?

It is one of a series of special classes Katchie offers from September through March at Sōl Yoga Collective. The series dates are September 20, October 18, November 15, December 13, January 21 and March 21. The listing doesn't say whether you can attend a single session or must commit to all of them, but the $20 each pricing suggests you can join individually.

Where does the event take place?

It is held in person at Sōl Yoga Collective in Rapid City, South Dakota. The organizer's event page includes a map link and a calendar file you can add to Google Calendar.

Who is this class a good fit for, and who might want something different?

It suits people who want yoga combined with Buddhist-informed reflection, rather than movement alone. If you only want a fast-paced workout or dislike teaching and discussion woven into practice, another Sōl class may suit you better, such as the heavy-music Breakdown & Breathe or the gentle Chair Yoga with Sharleen.

Descrizione

The Art of Awakening is a yoga and dharma workshop led by Katchie Ananda at Sōl Yoga Collective in Rapid City, South Dakota. It pairs Anusara yoga for the body with Buddhist teachings for the mind and heart, and it suits anyone who wants a yoga class that also feeds reflection and spiritual study.

The session is one of a series of special classes Katchie offers from September through March, each exploring teachings from the yoga and dharma traditions. You can come to a single session or follow the series through the season.

What to Expect

Each gathering runs for an hour and a half, beginning at midday. Katchie's yoga is based on Anusara yoga, an elegant system known for being safe and effective for the body. For the mind and heart, she teaches the Dharma, drawing on Theravadan Buddhist practices as taught by Jack Kornfield.

The result is a class that moves between the physical practice of yoga and the contemplative side of the path, so the work on the mat and the teachings on awakening inform one another.

About Katchie Ananda

Katchie Ananda has taught yoga full time since 1991, working as a teacher, trainer and workshop and program developer. She was trained in Theravadan Buddhism by Jack Kornfield, and she co-founded Yoga Sangha, later renamed Yoga Kula, in San Francisco. Her teaching brings together that long experience in Anusara yoga with her Buddhist training.

The Place

Sōl Yoga Collective is a yoga studio in Rapid City, South Dakota, and hosts a varied calendar of classes and gatherings, including ecstatic dance, sound baths, chair yoga and other workshops. The Art of Awakening takes place there on selected Sundays through the season.

Before You Go

The material does not set a prerequisite for this class, and Anusara yoga is described as a safe system for the body. If you are unsure whether the pace suits you, it is worth asking the studio ahead of time. Katchie also teaches a separate longer Sunday workshop series at the studio, Grit & Grace, for those who want to go deeper into the same blend of Buddhist teaching and Anusara alignment principles.

FAQ

The physical practice is based on Anusara yoga, which the organizer describes as an elegant system that is extremely safe and effective for the body. It is paired with Dharma teaching, so expect the session to work with both body and mind rather than being purely a movement class.

Katchie teaches the Dharma from Buddhist Theravadan practices as taught by Jack Kornfield. She trained in Theravadan Buddhism under Kornfield, so reading or listening to some of his teachings beforehand could give you helpful context, though the listing doesn't say it is required.

Katchie has taught full time as a yoga teacher, trainer and workshop/program developer since 1991. She also co-founded Yoga Sangha, later renamed Yoga Kula, in San Francisco. That long experience in both yoga and Buddhist practice shapes how she combines the two in this series.

The class runs 90 minutes and costs $20 per session. The listing gives that price as "each," so it appears each class in the series is paid for individually.
