Yoga Nidra

November 1, 7:30 to 9:00 pm
Join Heartsong's Jane Anable for an evening of Yoga Nidra, or Deep Yogic Rest, on the first Thursday of every month at 7:30 pm.
Walk ins are welcome, $20.00 at the door, but if you pre register and pre pay, you can enjoy the class for $18.00. No experience is necessary, this is a great class to bring along a loved one to share your passion for yoga, however, Yoga Nidra is a practice and a process, so coming in once a month for a Yoga Nidra "Tune Up" is highly recommended.
Yoga Nidra is a dynamic meditative process that has been passed down to us through the centuries from the ancient yogic masters. It is designed to establish harmony and well being throughout the entire system, reducing the physical and mental tensions brought about by modern day living.
Yoga Nidra induces physical relaxation by moving awareness around the body, with attention drawn to the breath. The slower and deeper the respiration, the more relaxed the practitioner becomes. Emotional relaxation is achieved by developing a state of mind where various feelings and thoughts are brought to the surface, and then breathed away, and the mind begins to quiet down and feel more settled and at ease. Healing images and suggestions are brought in, along with positive affirmations and calming tranquil images. Although it seems as though this practice is "just a long winter's nap" the body is deeply relaxed and the mind and thoughts are quiet, but the practitioner is fully awake on an internal level.
Propped on cushions and bolsters, covered by blankets and resting on the carpeted floor, with an eye pillow over the eyes and the soothing restorative words from Jane, in the company of other seekers of relaxation, healing and ease, it is no wonder that this class is always a sell out at Heartsong Yoga each month.
