Yoga Nidra

The simplest explanation of this class is a guided meditation that leads to deep relaxation. But really, it’s more than that. Yoga Nidra means Yogic Sleep, and while the practice can be deeply relaxing, the goal is not to fall asleep. Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation of sorts, so in this class you’ll be encouraged to notice or “witness” the different aspects of your being (your physical body, your breath, your thoughts, etc.). As you are guided through the layers you're being, eventually the awareness of your body and breath seems to drop away, and you may enter into a very calm and peaceful state of awareness. So the body seems to enter into a sleep state, though you remain fully awake. This class can be practiced either from a chair or while lying down on a mat, and is great for everyone, from the brand new beginner, to the seasoned practitioner.
