Deep Healing Relaxation Method/ Yoga Nidra (conscious sleep) – 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.
Register two days before each session.
