FULL MOON YOGA NIDRA

with Daniel Carpenter

Join us for the last of 12 Full Moon Yin Yoga Nidra sessions this year. Each will take place on or near the auspicious time of the full moon. 

You'll enjoy the profound relaxation of a 45-minute Yoga Nidra. During the practice you will be lying down on a pad or blanket, covered in a blanket, and resting your head on a small pillow or blanket. You will be guided. Your mind and body will organically move into a deep state of relaxation, dancing on the edge of deep consciousness - the place of sleep with no dreams.

The magic happens in this deeply relaxed state. The pineal gland becomes active releasing hormones that often trigger a healing response for the body and mind. Often inducing a much deeper feeling of connectedness. In addition, a practice like this offers the restorative properties of a 3-4 hour sleep. 

The hallmark of Yoga Nidra is sankalpa. Sankalpa is a very special intention. Each session will re-energize and support the materialization of your sankalpa, and further develop your ability to drop into the deepest state of healing relaxation. The more consistent the practitioner is in their practice, the more refined the result.

Prepare for practice:
As the body drops into deep relaxation the floor suddenly becomes very hard and the room very cold

The following guidelines will ensure you have a reasonably distraction free practice.
Please do not bring any items normally used for sleep. i.e. no bed pillows etc.
Please be sure that all items are freshly laundered and without fragrance, including no essential oils.
1. Camp pad or thick blanket to lie on. This will create insulation between your body and the floor.
2. Warm nonrestrictive clothing and socks to wear during nidra.
3. Extra blanket to cover the body
4. Travel pillow of towel to cushion the head.
5. 2 extra towels to cushion the arms/elbows.
6. Plan ahead. Due to the nature of the practice, there will be no late admittance.
