Hands to Heart: Yoga Workshop with Jessica Bellofatto
Join Jessica Bellofatto, director of KamaDeva Yoga in East Hampton, NY and a longtime practitioner and teacher of Yoga, in this workshop focusing on the hands communicating with the heart. We will explore the use of the hands in many poses, but most specifically in “weight-bearing” asanas, such as downward facing dog, plank, inversions and arm balances. You will be taught how to correctly relate the hands, arms, and shoulders and how to connect to and refine the communication between the hands and the “back window” of the heart – the shoulderblade/upper back region. Chanting, meditation, intelligently and creatively choreographed vinyasa sequencing, and rocking music, Jessica is known for her ability to take her students on a yogic journey, a magic carpet ride, if you will. Geared for the intermediate to 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!!!
Location: Vira Yoga, 580 Broadway, Suite 205, New York, NY 10012

Resuming Spring & Summer 2012, in the Hamptons, NY
S'UP DOG: Yoga Classes on the Stand Up Paddleboard with Jessica Bellofatto in the Hamptons All Summer!
These classes combine traditional yoga postures with the added FUN of floating on a stand up paddleboard in flat water. Led by Jessica Bellofatto of KamaDeva Yoga, we will paddle for 20-30 minutes to an awesome location, and then move through an intelligently designed sequence of postures targeting the legs, butt, abs, back and arms, opening up the breath, quieting the mind, and moving into greater alignment with ourselves and the natural beauty that surrounds us out on the water.
