YOGA = union of body, breath, mind and spirit     NIDRA = sleep

Yoga Nidra provides a deeply restorative relaxation experience by harmonizing mind, body and breath. You can experience this guided meditation lying down or sitting up, either way you’ll bypass the busy chatter of your mind and ease into an experience of calm, relaxed awareness. This calm state allows the body’s natural healing response to restore balance and function optimally.

Neuroscientists have even discovered this state of non-sleep, deep rest is an ESSENTIAL component in the process of adult neuroplasticity, aka the ability to consciously rewire our brains and bodies to learn new things, including healthier habits!

The Yoga Nidra practice offers the opportunity to set an intention or introduce an affirmation — for calm, or healing, abundance, or happiness, whatever you choose — without interference of self-doubt, worry, fear or your inner critic.

CALM YOUR MIND, RELAX YOUR BODY.

Yoga Nidra provides a deeply restorative relaxation experience by harmonizing mind, body and breath.

YOGA = union of body, breath, mind and spirit     NIDRA = sleep

Yoga Nidra is a powerful non-sleep-deep-rest (NSDR) practice that can be done daily to refresh, restore and relax your mind & body. It is said a 20-30 minute practice can be as beneficial as 2-4 hours of sleep!

You can experience this guided meditation lying down or in an easy seated position, either on the floor or in a chair. In this meditation you’ll bypass the busy chatter of your mind and ease into an experience of calm, relaxed awareness. This calm state allows the body’s natural healing response to restore balance and function optimally.

Learn the basics with easy, simple 1-5 minute practices. These classes are designed with the realistic understanding that in order to begin, grow and strengthen a meditation practice it has to fit in your busy and sometimes complicated life. For most people even sitting still for 3 minutes can be a challenge, let alone the often prescribed 15-45 mins! Each week we’ll cover topics such as the nature of the mind, emotions and the power of the breath. There will be a short teaching at the beginning, followed by 2 short meditation practices based on mindfulness and yogic meditations.

The class is interactive so students will be able to ask questions and will come away feeling supported with ideas on how to begin their own home practice, and have an understanding of how to face and overcome the challenges meditation can present.

Our thoughts DIRECTLY influence our breathing patterns, emotions and actions. Creating a sense of calm balance and resilience begins with awareness. Meditation can show you the way.

LOVING KINDNESS & COMPASSION meditation will focus on understanding and practicing meditations based on the core teachings of Loving Kindness, Compassion, and Self-compassion. These are powerful methods to create great inner calm, an expanded state of awareness and an ability to remain grounded and happy in the midst of fear and uncertainty.

LIGHT & ENERGY meditations focus on yoga principles of chakras, aka energy centers, and visualization techniques that use the power of the mind to access deeper states of inner awareness. The mind moves from ‘out there’ inward to cultivate the ability to become aware of stress and tension as it arises, better enabling you to make conscious choices for your overall balanced and harmonious well-being.
Using meditation techniques such as Body Of Light meditation gives you direct experience of your innate, powerful ability to manage your mind and enter states of deep calm, beyond external stresses and internal worries.
