The breath is the shape of your life – DAGES JUVELIER KEATES
Dages Juvelier Keates (she/they) is an artist and Katonah yoga teacher working with and through the materiality of their body as a somatic space for holding paradox. Their works explore performative and poetic methodologies in researching internal cartographies of somatic, psychoanalytic, and nonhuman knowledge. Their transdisciplinary work spans performance, dramaturgy, writing, and pedagogy.
We met in the Katonah Yoga Center fall mentorship 2024, where Dages was a mentor, and my mind was blown by the teachings, vocabulary use, and theory that Dages shared. I am so honored to share this special episode.
In this enlightening conversation, we explore the profound themes of breathwork, spirituality, and the journey of self-discovery and self-cultivation. Dages shares their unique experiences and insights, emphasizing the importance of breath as a central element in yoga and life. The discussion delves into the significance of community, the balance between self and others, and the wisdom gained from personal experiences. Dages offers valuable advice for navigating life's complexities, encouraging listeners to embrace their individuality and practice, practice, practice.
Dages hosts workshops, retreats, mentorships for teachers, and much more. Please connect with her on Instagram or via her website!
Happy listening 🌻
