SUP DEVA: Yoga and Stand Up Paddleboarding Class with Jessica Bellofatto and Gina Bradley

In conjunction with fellow female warrior goddess Gina Bradley of Paddle Diva, Jessica Bellofatto will be leading a 90 minute paddle/yoga class at Maidstone Springs Park in East Hampton. Join Jessica for a challenging CLASSIC DEVA yoga class geared for all levels in which we will move through an intelligently designed sequence of postures targeting the legs, butt, abs, back and arms, open up the breath, quiet the mind, and move into greater alignment with yourself. Once centered in this way, we will then move out to the water, receiving stand up paddling instruction, and go off together for a walking-on-water adventure! Instruction, gear, refreshments, and a healthy snack all provided. Please bring sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, and dress as you would for a regular yoga class. To paddle, you can wear your yoga clothes, or, if you prefer, a bathing suit. Wetsuits are not necessary this time of year, and most of you won't get wet unless you so choose! I do recommend bringing your own yoga mat, or you can purchase one from me if you would like. Also, bring a towel.
Dates: Tuesdays (August 24, 31 & September 7, 2010)
Time: 9:30-11:00am
Cost: For $110/pp
Pre-requisites: No previous yoga or paddling experience required.

LIVING LEGS: Yoga Workshop with Jessica Bellofatto at Ishta Yoga in New York City

The legs are the workhorses of our bodies. The limbs of locomotion. As much as we rely on our legs, can we have gratitude for this powerful part of the body? How do the legs feed into the pelvis and spine? When the legs are inflexible, it affects everything from digestion to sleep. In this workshop taught by KamaDeva Yoga, East Hampton director Jessica Bellofatto, we will explore the use of the legs in a range of postures from standing to backbends to seated poses. We will learn and apply clear principles of alignment in order to use the legs in such a way that they liberate the spine, open the heart, and invite in the breath. This is a vinyasa-based practice with clear alignment woven throughout. Geared for the intermediate-advanced practitioner... Be willing and prepared to align and re-align your body through your own moment to moment observation , guided by your breath (the inner teacher), to move, to sweat, and to LET GO!!!
Date: Tuesday, October 5, 2010
Time: 6:30-8:00pm
Location: Ishta Yoga, 56 East 11th St, New York, NY 10003
Cost: $45 pre-registered / $55 day of workshop.
