This class provides you with the opportunity to practice in the comfort of your own home in a space you can truly relax. We begin with gentle movements, breath work, and yin postures, then easing into the realm of yoga nidra. Yoga nidra, a profound practice of deep rest, requires nothing more than gentle awareness from you. It involves a body scan, allowing your subconscious mind time to rejuvenate. Your thoughts ease and stress hormones are cycled out of your system enabling your body to replenish itself. Numerous studies have demonstrated the benefits of yoga nidra in promoting mental health, alleviating depression and anxiety, improving sleep quality, and fostering a holistic sense of well-being.
