Nurturing Yin and Yoga Nidra

Tuesdays 6:00-7:00pm

The deep nurturing practice of Yin Yoga is a wonderful way to unblock the flow of vital energy throughout body and mind. It is practiced with longer holds, supported with props to strengthen and lengthen connective tissue, and to release deep chronic-held stress and tension. In addition, each class will include a deep restorative yoga nidra practice, guided withdrawal of senses from outer to the inner world into meditative consciousness. The practice inspires a relaxed awareness of the vitality and contentment within.
"The Yin and Yoga Nidra class has given me a better sense of inner peace after each session - a calm gentleness and grace that I try to keep with me throughout the week"
- Current Yin Yoga student

Healing Sound Bath

In this nurturing practice we will explore stepping into a more aligned version of ourselves. Through experiential practices of releasing what no longer serves you and opening with clarity to an expansive vision of yourself and your life. You will be guided into a lovely state of deep relaxation with a soothing sound bath experience and guided meditation. Waves of sound from crystal singing bowls, chimes, and other healing instruments will balance the nervous system, and guided meditation invites you into a deep state of healing and restoration.

This is an experiential practice which allows you to "just be" in shavasana as you rest and receive the healing benefits on all levels of your being.
