Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra is a profoundly healing, transformative practice in which we learn to deeply relax on every level of our being. This workshop is designed for anyone who is curious about Yoga Nidra and experienced practitioners, and open to everyone regardless of Hatha yoga experience. We will begin with a brief overview of Yoga Nidra, then for a full hour you will be guided through a Yoga Nidra relaxation session. Yoga Nidra releases tension and relaxes you more thoroughly than conventional sleep. In fact, one hour of Yoga Nidra is as restful as four hours of regular sleep. Not only is it relaxing, but a regular practice of Yoga Nidra transforms us by removing blocks and tension from our unconscious minds. Research has shown that Yoga Nidra enhances creativity, vitality, and our ability to achieve our highest potential, as well as being an effective treatment in illnesses ranging from depression to asthma to heart disease.
