About this Event

Meditation Circle for Restoration and Reconnection

In this practice of yoga nidra, also known as “yogic sleep,” you will be invited to build a healthier relationship with your thoughts, feelings, and body. Yoga nidra is a meditative practice that engages our innate capacity for non-judgmental awareness, and from this place of awareness, we experience a deeper sense of relaxation and inner-wellbeing. Before a 40-minute guided meditation, Naomi will offer an introduction to yoga nidra as well as guidance on how to prepare for a meaningful practice. Throughout the session, you will be invited to hone mindfulness skills and self-compassion with the ultimate goal of generating a sense of peace and healing in your daily life.

Experiences during this class can range. While some may feel deeply self-attuned and present, others will experience a sense of sleepiness and relaxation. It is also common to feel distracted and even experience frustration or restlessness during meditation. Meditation often brings up a lot of emotions, this is perfectly normal. Instead of allowing our expectations to overcome us, we will learn to meet anything emotional, physical, or mental that arises in the practice with curiosity. You will see over time how your brain, body, and heart will change with the tools of mindfulness.

For those who have not regularly practiced yoga nidra or meditation, we offer the reminder that yoga nidra–like all other yogic exercises and therapeutic routines– requires time and effort to cultivate a sense of ease in sinking into the practice. We are honored to be a guide on your journey of mind-body healing and encourage regular engagement in class in order to experience the full benefits of this practice. Simultaneously, group practices can lead to so much growth so quickly. When we share space together, we grow together.

Please bring a mat and wear comfortable clothing. Students may also choose to bring a pillow or other items that support their comfort. Bolsters, blankets, and eye masks will be provided.
