Deep Healing Relaxation Method/ Yoga Nidra (conscious sleep) β This 60 minute class is accessible to anyone, regardless of physical conditions. Yoga Nidra is a guided, restorative and rejuvenating practice that takes place in savasana, lying down. The class invites you to take the time to release deep tension and stress in the layers of the body (koshas), while remaining aware and awake. As you practice deep relaxation, staying focused on the here and now, you give your body the opportunity to heal and function at optimal levels. The many benefits of yoga nidra can also include better problem solving, improved memory, relief of pain, and increased creativity.

Forest therapy offers an opportunity to come back to your body and remember who you are within and as nature. This guided walk will provide you with invitations to engage in the forest, and to offer a chance to slow down. Donβt expect an intense hike or a talk therapy session; this is an easy (less than 3/4 mile) walk, and in forest therapy, the forest is therapist β the guide simply opens the doors.
We will meet in the Pavilion to begin, then head out to the grounds for the full session.
