YOGA NIDRA
Relax into a meditative state.
Yoga Nidra, or yogic sleep, can be thought of as sleeping with awareness which cultivates the ability to completely relax our body and mind. Practicing during the day helps to replenish energy while evening practice improves the quality of night sleep.
Yogic Sleep
Yoga Nidra works as a systematic process that guides the practitioner to deeper states of consciousness as they observe the different aspects and layers of the mind while resting in a state of deep relaxation. With verbal guidance, you will be led into preliminary sleep stages of sleep. The aim is to stay awake while extremely close to the boundary of sleep.
What to expect
This class is meant for everyone looking to relax and learn to control tension in the body and mind. You will be guided through a restorative sleep meditation that will allow your mind and body to slip into a state of relaxation. The brain will switch from beta to alpha waves, signaling the transition from activity to meditation. Open to all levels of practitioner as the entire practice is done lying down. You might want to bring a blanket and an eye mask or scarf to cover your eyes.
