While technically a form of meditation, most people think of Yoga Nidra as deep relaxation. Yoga Nidra uses breath awareness, body scan, guided visualization and other techniques to re-wire the entire nervous system by teaching you how to do nothing. It is deeply healing. 45 minutes of Yoga Nidra is equivalent to 3 hours of sleep.
Yoga Nidra involves lying down in stillness. It is important to be comfortable, so please gather your supplies before class time. You may want to have a small pillow for under your head, a small blanket to keep you warm, or a cover for your eyes.
If you are not able to attend every week, it’s ok. Each nidra will be a stand alone experience.
