Allow Lois Nesbitt, one of Anusara yoga’s most experienced teacher trainers, to bring out the teacher within you!  Anusara teachers are among the world’s most highly trained and skilled. This hands-on course will give you all of the tools to grow into a truly outstanding 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 our 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 teach students of all levels
• how to work with injuries and special conditions

This training occurs as a series of  seven weekend mini-retreats set amid the splendor of East Hampton’s 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. Our private chef provides spectacular healthy meals drawing on the world’s finest cuisines. Out-of-towners are comfortably housed in private homes.

The course is spread out over 9 months to give you time to absorb our teaching techniques and put them into practice.

ANUSARA YOGA IMMERSION: PART 3
WITH LOIS NESBITT

2 Weekend Mini-Retreats:
January 29-31
February 27-28

East Hampton, New York

Dive deep into the practice and teachings of Anusara Yoga while soaking up the beauty of this pristine seaside resort village!  These mini-retreat weekends invite you to leave The World behind and steep yourself in the delights of outstanding yoga, fine food, and great company.

Our days include yoga practice, breathwork and meditation. We’ll dive into the Bhagavad Gita, India’s most beloved spiritual story and map out the charkas, the wheels that spin our lives. In between, you’ll have time to walk the beach, stroll through town, visit historic colonial sites, or merely laze around the fireplace.

Our private chef hails from some of Manhattan’s most exclusive restaurants and has apprenticed with the finest chefs in Europe and Asia; meals are served fireside. Out of towners will drift into deep sleep cocooned under down quilts in the stillness of nights far from the big city.

Is this program for you?

Anusara Yoga Immersions are for students and teachers who long to deepen their practice and understanding of our yoga. If you have taken 30 hours or 3 months of Anusara yoga classes, workshops, retreats, or intensives, you can join this course. You do not need to have taken parts 1 and 3 to take part 3, though students interested in becoming Anusara Yoga Teachers are encouraged to take the 3 parts in order.
