Go to Bliss and Beyond in this workshop that will combine gentle asana, restorative postures and Yoga Nidra.
You will start with 30 minutes of slow flow to open up the energy lines in the body and relieve tension in the joints and muscles. From there you will move into 60 minutes of luxurious restorative postures to calm the nervous system and relax the mind. The workshop will culminate with a 30 minute Yoga Nidra which is a guided meditation technique practiced in Savasana.
Through the perfect combination of a tranquil atmosphere, supportive prop use, essential oils and nurturing hands-on adjustments, this class will enable you to relax, renew and rejuvenate your body, mind and spirit. Restorative poses are set up so that the body is held by the props and can completely surrender. In Sanskrit Nidra means sleep. In Yoga Nidra we bring ourselves to the place between sleep and dreaming known as the hypnagogic state. Remaining in this state for an extended period of time allows us to experience total relaxation and to tap into the unconscious and subconscious mind. In this state we are able to release emotional, physical and mental tensions that we have been holding onto in our taxed city lives.
Benefits of this workshop include a serene mind, calm nervous system, improved concentration and an improvement of chronic conditions such as stress, insomnia, asthma, pain, migraines and depression.
All Levels are Welcome.
