5.22.15

I am so thrilled to be offering Yoga Nidra classes beginning in June.  Here is my class description, I can't wait!

This one hour class begins with basic stretching and asana to prepare the body, some mindful breathing to still the mind and follows with about 35 – 45 minutes of blissfully relaxing Yoga Nidra.

The ancient practice of Yoga Nidra, or Yogic Sleep is the state of relaxation your body and mind enter during this deep meditation.  In the restorative posture of Svasana you are led past wakefulness and the dream state into the state of deep sleep, all while remaining conscious and aware.  It is an incredibly healing practice, good for creating ease in the body and stillness and insight in the mind.  The benefits of a regular Yoga Nidra practice are numerous and can be especially helpful to counteract the effects of stress and anxiety that are prevalent in our modern, busy culture.

(Also, if you are looking for some dense reading look no further than Tantric philosophy.)
