YIN & YOGA NIDRA workshop: Uncover the CALM within
Find a state of deep RELAXATION and connect you with the CALM that lies within you.
Our workshop will introduce you to the practice of YOGA NIDRA, a guided meditation practice that will take you to a state of deep relaxation between sleeping and waking. We will begin with a SLOW FLOW/YIN practice to enable you to become grounded within your body and connected with your breath.
We then move through a guided YOGA NIDRA meditation to deeply relax your mind and body. We will focus on locating the stillness and calm which is already within us but can become crowded by the noise and busyness of daily life.
This workshop will provide you with tools and techniques to employ throughout your life to manage anxiety, stress or to simply give yourself space and deep relaxation.
What is Yoga Nidra?
Yoga Nidra is a deep relaxation technique. Nidra involves listening to a guided meditation that will take you to a place somewhere between awake and sleep. It works to peel back the layers of consciousness until you are able to rest in quiet stillness. It is immensely relaxing and calming and has been shown to produce many positive benefits for practitioners.
This workshop is perfect for anyone who experiences anxiety or stress, anyone who would like to improve their sleep patterns, anyone interested in deepening their yoga or meditation practice. Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation, so you need no prior experience or knowledge.
