Start off 2022 with a class that will help you drop into deep, restorative rest. New to Yoga Nidra? Continue reading below for what to expect. These classes will be available both in-person and online so you can practice from the comfort of your own home.
What is Yoga Nidra? Yoga Nidra (or Yogic Sleep) is a unique state of consciousness where you experience both alert awareness and deep relaxation. It is a powerful tool for stress relief, anxiety reduction, healing, and transformation that is both a simple and profound practice, open to all. Class begins by allowing students to come into a comfortable, supported, resting posture (lying down or seated). Then using a combination of physical relaxation techniques, breath practices, and guided meditation, we create an internal environment that invites us to experience progressive relaxation and release of tension. |
Physiologically, Yoga Nidra takes the practitioner into alpha and theta brain wave activity. These brain wave states have been scientifically shown to accelerate learning and healing. When we tap into this level of consciousness, we disengage from our image of self, our fears, worries, and expectations. Here, shifts occur in our limiting habit-patterns (which often drive our behavior and underlie our emotions), and we rewire, rewrite, and release what no longer supports us. Balance is restored to our nervous system, and the mind quiets, becoming receptive to insight and clarity.
After practice, students often feel lighter, rested, relaxed, blissed-out, and at peace. With a consistent practice, you may experience improved memory, increased creativity, decreased anxiety, maintained energy throughout the day, better sleep, and a deeper connection between body, mind, heart, spirit.
You can use your punch card or $16 studio drop in / $8 virtual drop in.
