Gentle Restorative Class (Online)
Learn the true art of relaxation. Yoga Nidra is a practice that produces a profound state of relaxation in the mind and body to help shed layers of tension and pain. At a deeper level, Yoga Nidra is also a meditative practice that helps transform the beliefs and feelings that keep us stuck in negative patterns of anxiety and depression. This class begins with gentle movement and restorative postures done sitting or lying on the floor, fully supported by props, with an emphasis on opening to the power of the breath to release chronic tension and pain that so often dulls our overall health and vitality. Finally relaxing into the comfort and ease of the body resting in Yoga Nidra, energy naturally flows to areas of the body most in need of rejuvenation and healing, leaving you balanced and relaxed as you awaken to your true nature.

Yoga Nidra: Lullabies for a Sleepless World
Take time to slow down, to breathe, to stretch, to relax and restore your sanity during the busy holiday season. Learn how to move from a state of distraction and restlessness, to a place of deep stillness, and complete and absolute rest. Yoga Nidra meditation is practiced in a lying down position and allows us to release tension stored through all the different layers of our being (body, mind, emotions, spirit) so we can tap into the body’s own wisdom for health and healing.
Yoga Nidra is a deep state of relaxation that occurs within full awareness, while at the same time can help you receive the benefits of a full night’s sleep. As you rest your mind in the soothing lullaby of your own breath, you’ll experience the fully embodied state of deep relaxation (yogic sleep) that arises spontaneously when body, breath, mind & spirit are integrated, so the nervous system can reset and restore itself.
