About this event
Join us for a rejuvenating session of Yoga Nidra on or near the new moon. This ancient practice, translated as "yogic sleep," invites you to gather in our studio for a deeply restorative and transformative experience that combines elements of meditation, relaxation, and conscious awareness. Yoga Nidra is a meditation practiced lying down comfortably, while being guided into a state between sleep and wakefulness. As your brainwaves shift, your body experiences deep relaxation while your mind remains subtly aware. Within this liminal space, you have the opportunity to work closely with an intention, also known as Sankalpa. The benefits of Yoga Nidra are many, including quieting the mind, decreasing anxiety and stress, expanding awareness, and cultivating witness consciousness. It offers a chance to rest, reset, and explore your inner landscape from a place of non-dual awareness. This practice can provide a sanctuary of deep rest and stillness, allowing you tap into your innate wisdom, release tension, and experience profound states of relaxation. Syncing up Yoga Nidra with the New Moon is ideal for turning your awareness inward and planting seeds of intention. It can be an opportunity to release old patterns, invite positive changes, and manifest desires. The moon provides both a sense of structure and a cosmic reminder to check in with yourself. Our time together may also include a few journal prompts, so please bring your journal and pen if you'd like. Tea and yoga props will be provided; come dressed in comfortable attire and bring a yoga mat if you have one. We look forward to sharing this transformative practice with you. Memberships and class cards apply!
