About this Event
This is a "power" hatha class, meaning we will hold strong, invigorating postures that will engage and energize the entire body. This class moves at a slow pace, allowing us to find alignment and activation in all the poses. This is a great class for beginners and advanced yogis, with opportunities to modify and/or challenge.
The active practice will be an hour, followed by a 30 minute relaxing yoga nidra meditation to balance the body, mind and spirit. This is the perfect way to feel your best, and meet good people in a community-oriented setting.
For the best experience, bring a cozy blanket and pillow(s).
Class is donation-based. The suggested donation amount is $15-$30, but feel free to pay what you can to help cover studio costs.
What is yoga nidra?
Yoga nidra, also know as yogi sleep, conscious sleep, or psychic sleep, is a guided meditation and body scan. It is designed to give the mind and body deep rest more efficiently than taking a nap. In yoga nidra, you stay in the state between being awake and asleep to turn inward, rest the thinking mind, and reprogram the subconscious. 30 minutes of yoga nidra is the equilavent of 2-3 hours of sleep! Benefits of this practice include better sleep at night, refreshing the mind, reduced mind chatter, deeper intuition, enhanced creativity and problem-solving, and self-transformation. This is an incredible practice, and all you need to do is lie down on your mat and relax to reap the benefits.
