Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) is a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping, like the "going-to-sleep" stage. It is a state in which the body is completely relaxed, and the practitioner becomes systematically and increasingly aware of the inner world by following a set of verbal instructions. This state of consciousness (Yoga Nidra) is different from meditation in which concentration on a single focus is required. In Yoga Nidra the practitioner remains in a state of light withdrawal of the 5 senses (pratyahara) with four of his or her senses internalized, that is, withdrawn, and only the hearing still connects to the instructions. The yogic goal of both paths, deep relaxation (Yoga Nidra) and meditation are the same, a state of meditative consciousness called samadhi.Yoga Nidra is among the deepest possible states of relaxation while still maintaining full consciousness. In lucid dreaming, one is only, or mainly, cognizant of the dream environment, and has little or no awareness of one's actual environment.
The practice of yoga relaxation has been found to reduce tension and anxiety. The autonomic symptoms of high anxiety such as headache, giddiness, chest pain, palpitations, sweating and abdominal pain respond well. It has been used to help soldiers from war cope with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Yoga Nidra and Sound Healing go hand in hand. Our in-house Sound Healer and Reiki Master Megyen Green will be encouraging yogis to get into this state with a sound bath using the gong, singing bowls and chimes.
No previous yoga or Sound Healing experience needed. You will not be moving as in a traditional yoga class. Please wear comfortable clothes you might wear for napping and any crystals from home that will help you get into a relaxed and calm state.
$20 per person.
Registration is required and limited to the first 12 people.
