Yoga Nidra

Tuesday, April 16th, 11:00AM

Yoga Nidra means yogic sleep and studies have shown that the degree of relaxation achievable through this method is much deeper than regular sleep. To prepare the body for yoga Nidra, participants will be guided through a few limbering and loosening movements that can be done in a chair or on the floor. You then lay back and listen while you are guided systematically through increasingly deep levels of physical relaxation. As tension melts away, the body regains its natural state of wellness, and the mind enters that pre-dream state between sleep and consciousness. You gain access to the fertile ground of your own subconscious. Yoga Nidra offers not only relief from the tensions and pressures of our times, but the means to actually change life patterns.  

Please bring a large towel and a yoga mat.

Sign up by calling the center or stop by the front desk.
