Yoga Nidra Experience

Sunday, December 22nd

1:30 PM - 2:45 PM

$20 Drop In, $10 for Members

The Yoga Nidra session will take about 55 minutes. Class will open with a short discussion. After the session, time will be available for Q&A.

If you enjoy the practice of deep relaxation (śavāsana or shavasana) at the end of a regular Yoga class, or if you practice meditation, you will probably enjoy and benefit from this practice. No experience required, and all are welcome.

YOGA NIDRA is a practice of guided, deep relaxation, and is sometimes described as a "back door" to meditation. While many think of it as an extended śavāsana or lying-down meditation, it is actually quite different. "Yoga Nidra" literally means "Yogic Sleep", and is a focused, dynamic state, designed to enable peace. During the Yoga Nidra session, you will lie comfortably on your back with your eyes closed. All that is required is that you focus on the instruction and stay aware!

Unfortunately, in the West, many traditional teachings of Yoga have been distorted and simplified in many ways. Many classes that teach simple relaxation or visualization are often called Yoga Nidra. These classes may have some benefits and are not necessarily bad classes, but they are not Yoga Nidra. This will be an AUTHENTIC Yoga Nidra practice, and for many people that have learned or practiced Yoga Nidra before, this class can be called Advanced Yoga Nidra.

We have blankets and bolsters, but you are encouraged to bring your own blankets, pillows, sheets/shawls, blind folds... Please wear comfortable clothing.
