Yoga Nidra Therapy
For Releasing Anxiety
Friday, Sept. 28 in Sterling Hgts.
Friday, Sept. 28
7:30PM-9:00PM
$25 per person ($30 at door)
Location: Sterling Hgts.
Yoga
N
idra
, or
Yogic
s leep as it is commonly known, is
a state
of being between sleep and consciousness that's conducive to deep emotional and physical healing, rewiring your brain, and self-
exploration. It is
both deeply restorative and an immensely powerful meditation technique that is one of the easiest Yoga practices to develop and maintain.
One
hour of Yoga
Nidra
promotes
deep
physical, emotional and mental rest
and
relaxation, leaving
you with a sense of
wholeness,
that is as restful as several hours of
sleep.
Yoga
Nidra
is
a practice
that's easy to follow and everyone
of all ages
can
do. Simply lie
down on the
floor
in
savasana
(corpse pose
) and follow Yvonne's voice as she guides you. The art of self-care is approached from a therapeutic standpoint, creating a restorative environment for the mind, releasing anxiety and actually nourishing and rejuvenating the individual. The
stages of body scan and breath awareness calm the nervous system, leading to less stress and better health.
