ANUSARA YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
With Lois Nesbitt

March – November 2010
East Hampton NY

Ready for a change?  Ready to share the yoga you love with others? Dive in!  Now’s the time!

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 plan ongoing courses that encourage students to grow
• 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. The small-group format insures that you will receive continual supportive feedback and coaching from Lois, who has personally trained dozens of Anusara teachers over the past decade.

Carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? Or more than your share of tension? Slumping at a computer all day? Yoga can restore your shoulders, neck, and head to their natural lightness of being. Alas, too many of us practice in ways that make things worse--from down dog to chataranga to headstand and shoulder stand.  Receive hands-on adjustments that relieve shoulder pain and suffering. Learn how Anusara yoga can reverse the damage and take the load off!  This workshop is designed for students of all levels and teachers of all traditions. Come for one or both!
