Restful Awareness and Deep Relaxation

45 minutes

Experience profound relaxation and the transformative power of conscious rest in our Introduction to Yoga Nidra class, crafted for anyone interested in reducing stress, fostering inner tranquility, and reconnecting with their innate sense of ease. Yoga Nidra, often called yogic sleep, is a guided meditation technique rooted in ancient yogic wisdom and supported by contemporary neuroscience, designed to lead participants into a state between wakefulness and sleep where deep healing and restoration occur. In this accessible and nurturing class, you will be gently guided through the foundational principles of Yoga Nidra, explore its benefits for body and mind, and participate in experiential practices that include progressive relaxation, body scanning, and breath awareness. The session emphasizes comfort and safety, inviting you to settle into a restful position—no prior experience, flexibility, or special equipment is required, just a willingness to rest and be present. Alongside practical tips for weaving Yoga Nidra into your daily routine, you’ll receive resources for continued self-practice, making this class a welcoming entry point for newcomers and a supportive space for those wishing to refresh or deepen their relaxation skills.
