The Chrysalis Pod: Season 1

THE CHRYSALIS POD
Yoga mirrors life: we begin in Child’s Pose and end in Savasana, but the true challenge lies in the moments in between. It’s the effort of change that shapes who we are. The Chrysalis Pod draws inspiration from Morpho Bleu’s mascot, the Blue Morpho butterfly, and our motto, “We are made to change,” as we explore the personal journeys of yoga teachers and enthusiasts on their paths to wellness, peace, and maybe even spiritual enlightenment — if that’s not too lofty.
In the chrysalis stage, a butterfly transforms through a “goopy mess” from one phase of life to the next, just as we evolve through our own life transitions.
Season One dives into interviews with the inspiring teachers leading The Course — our 2024/2025 yoga teacher training at Morpho Bleu. Join hosts Eden and Dana each month as they chat with these incredible souls about how yoga has influenced their lives and shaped their unique paths.

SEASON TWO, EPISODE ONE: ABBIE GALVIN – Katonah through the Seasons
In this first episode of Season 2, Dana and Eden welcome back a Morpho Bleu fave, Abbie Galvin from The Studio New York, who returns to Montreal this fall to lead “Katona Through the Seasons” at Morpho Bleu on October 25 and 26. Together they explore Katonah Yoga’s cyclical, nature-based framework and how it draws from Chinese medicine, metaphor, and geometry to help us find homeostasis rather than balance. Abbie reflects on the seasons within each of us, the way practice evolves over time, and the importance of technique and repetition as a path toward insight. With warmth and wit, the conversation offers a rich look at how Katonah Yoga connects body, mind, and nature through spherical thinking and imaginative maps of the self. Sign up now to join Abbie’s training at Morpho Bleu.
