Deep Yoga Nidra
We will take our time for a full 2 HOUR Yoga Nidra.
YOGA NIDRA is a guided practice, sometimes described as a "super-deep ŚAVĀSANA" or "ŚAVĀSANA on steroids". It is also sometimes described as a "back door" to meditation. While there are many similarities, authentic YOGA NIDRA is actually quite different from both meditation or ŚAVĀSANA.
"YOGA NIDRA" literally means "Yogic Sleep", and is a focused, dynamic state where brain wave patterns resemble deep sleep. During the YOGA NIDRA session, you will lie comfortably on your back with your eyes closed. All that is required is that you focus on the instruction and stay aware!
Unfortunately, in the West, many traditional teachings of Yoga have been distorted and simplified in many ways. Many classes that teach simple relaxation or visualization are often called Yoga Nidra. These classes may have some benefit and are not necessarily "bad" classes, but they are not YOGA NIDRA. This will be an AUTHENTIC YOGA NIDRA practice, and for many people that have learned or practiced YOGA NIDRA before, this class can be considered Advanced YOGA NIDRA.
We have Yoga mats, bolsters, and blankets available, but you are welcome to bring your own blankets, pillows, sheets/shawls, blindfolds... Wear comfortable clothing.
