This is a gentle heart-opening practice with twisting, detoxing asanas, designed to open the heart and clear out any negative energy. This class will be about releasing any old energy that no longer serves us so we can welcome in the new. Slow-paced and alignment-focused, accessible to all levels with varying options of difficulty.
The active practice will be an hour, followed by a 30 minute grounding yoga nidra meditation. Class is accessible to all levels, so this is the perfect way to feel your best, and meet good people in a community-oriented setting.
For the best experience, bring a cozy blanket and pillow(s).
Class is donation-based. The suggested donation amount is $15-$30, but feel free to pay what you can to help cover studio costs.
What is yoga nidra?
Yoga nidra, also know as yogi sleep, conscious sleep, or psychic sleep, is a guided meditation and body scan. It is designed to give the mind and body deep rest more efficiently than taking a nap. In yoga nidra, you stay in the state between being awake and asleep to turn inward, rest the thinking mind, and reprogram the subconscious. 30 minutes of yoga nidra is the equilavent of 2-3 hours of sleep! Benefits of this practice include better sleep at night, refreshing the mind, reduced mind chatter, deeper intuition, enhanced creativity and problem-solving, and self-transformation. This is an incredible practice, and all you need to do is lie down on your mat and relax to reap the benefits.
