Yoga Nidra
Experience the art of yogic sleep, an enjoyable and easy practice that everybody can do. You will be guided through a detailed awareness of your body and senses into a sleep meditation that will allow your body and mind to slip into a deep state of relaxation. Your brain will switch from beta to alpha waves, and will effortlessly transition from activity into meditation.
Couples will experience a deep connection to their loved one reinforcing the bonds between them. Yoga Nidra has been found to reduce tension and anxiety, PTSD, persistent insomnia and chronic pain. You will gain a sense of internal peace leaving you feeling incredibly present, rested, relaxed, restored and rejuvenated.
Bring mats, cushions and blankets in order to make yourself comfortable lying on the floor or sitting on the floor or in a chair as needed. Both singles and couples welcome. Class is also available online via Zoom.
