centeRx class at center

centeRx

signature · energetic

a 60-minute signature strength and movement class engineered to build intelligent muscle control, expand usable mobility, and restore balance from the inside out.

rooted in over 25 years of expertise, yoga educator, c-iayt yoga therapist, anatomy teacher, and personal coach kari harendorf translates decades of clinical movement therapy, injury prevention, and athletic conditioning into an energetic group fitness environment.

inspired by katonah yoga® theory, the class works through the interplay of your center, your circumference, and the space in between. by centering every joint in its optimal alignment, centeRx relieves joint strain, disrupts old patterns of bodily collapse or overuse, and reforms your movement mechanics.

blending functional strength training, therapeutic joint articulation, alignment-focused pilates, and dynamic resistance work, each session challenges your body through its full range of motion. you’ll build functional muscle, fortify bone density, and cultivate resilient strength.

designed to meet your body where it is and elevate where it can go.

gentle

the best of both, drawing on the wisdom of katonah yoga®. thirty minutes of slow, breath-led flow to warm and unwind the body, followed by thirty minutes of fully supported katonah yoga® restorative practice — tension releases, breath deepens, and the nervous system recalibrates.
