Lois Nesbitt with Jessica Bellofatto
KamaDeva Yoga

OCTOBER 2014 – MAY 2015

Ready for a change? Ready to share the yoga you love with others? Or maybe you just want to learn about how and why we do yoga? (This course is not just for teachers but for anyone who wants to deepen his/her practice.) Dive in! Now’s the time!

We all know that yoga’s popularity keeps on growing. And as students learn more, they are seeking out better teachers who can attend to their individual needs and help them to advance in their practices. Allow Lois Nesbitt, one of the world’s most experienced teacher trainers, bring out the teacher within you! And star Hamptons teacher Jessica Bellofatto will join in to share insights from her years of practice and teaching.

This training is packed with the wisdom and skills you need to stand out from the crowd. This hands-on course will give you all of the tools to grow into a truly gifted teacher.

You will learn:
• how to use your voice and your verbal instructions to inspire students to make shifts that can change their lives
• how to weave life-affirming philosophy into classes that students will remember for a lifetime
• how to guide students deeply and safely into poses using physical adjustments
• how to sequence poses so that students can move safely into challenging asana
• how to plan ongoing courses that encourage students to grow
• how to teach students of all levels
• how to work with injuries and special conditions

Not planning to teach? Our Deepening Your Practice option allows you to participate fully in this course without the commitment to becoming a certified yoga teacher. The course is packed with great tips on how to practice, why there are so many different styles of yoga, where yoga comes from and why it’s so popular today—all things that will take your understanding and your practice to the next level! Or, just opt for the Yoga Immersion and enjoy the first 3 weekends.

This training occurs as a series of ten weekend mini-retreats set amid the splendor of The Hamptons’ exquisite natural beauty. Between sessions you’ll have time to roam the beach, hike the woods, or simply curl up by the fireside or laze on the porch. Out-of-towners are guided to free or affordable housing. The Hamptons is easily and cheaply accessible from New York City by Long Island Rail Road, the Hampton Jitney (bus), or car.

The course is spread out over 9 months to give you time to absorb our teaching techniques and put them into practice. The small-group format insures that you will receive continual supportive feedback and coaching from Lois and Jessica.
