Due to low registration, we have decided to cancel this offering for now. We will reschedule and post a new date for this meaningful offering soon.
The meditation practice of Yoga Nidra, referred to as "yogic sleep," is well known for its effortless de-stressing effects. Once we lie down comfortably and begin to follow the guided invitations to notice sensations, breathing, emotions, and thoughts, our bodies naturally relax and we drift into a states of peace and ease. The iRest® adaptation of the practice has been scientifically proven effective for conditions including chronic pain, sleep problems, depression and anxiety, as well as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
In this workshop, Shira will share the foundations and principles of Yoga Nidra as well as lead a guided Nidra session to usher you into a relaxed state of ease. For those of you who wish savasana could last so much longer, this practice is for you. Join us to learn some theory and science but mostly enjoy the gift of deep rest.
To prepare for this workshop, set up a quiet and comfortable “nest” for yourself on your bed, couch or floor. The first part of the class will consist of a presentation and conversation where you can sit however you are comfortable. For the practice, you are encouraged to lie down on your back or side, using pillows, blankets or props under your head or knees to support you in restful stillness.
If you are interested or curious about Yoga Nidra but are unable to make the scheduled workshop time, register and we will send you a recording afterwards for you to enjoy and practice with at your own convenience, within the following week.
Cost: $30
