Long Winter's NapYoga Nidra Class
with Jane Anable
This Thursday, December 3, 7:30 pm.
Yoga Nidra is the name of the deep relaxation led at the end of every yoga class. This workshop style class with Heartsong's senior teacher Jane Anable will expand on the practice, giving you the chance to experience a powerful yoga technique for deep rest.
Yoga Nidra is a Sanskrit word which can be translated as yogic sleep or sleep of the yogis. It is an ancient tantric practice which systematically induces complete mental, physical, and emotional relaxation. We lie on our backs and systematically move our awareness to different parts of the body, practice specific breathing techniques, and use guided imagery. Through this process the subtle energy channels are completely revitalized. In this session, we will dedicate a short period of time to Sankalpa, which is intention. We will sow the seeds of change in the mind and create a deeply relaxing state in which those seeds may grow and create change in our lives. Yoga Nidra is helpful for stress reduction, insomnia, fatigue, depression and anxiety as well as general well-being.
$15.00 for all, drop ins always welcome.
