Yoga
Nidra originates from the ancient Vedic texts. During
practice you lie in Savasana (corpse pose) as you transition into
an altered state of awareness. You will be led through four main
stages of brainwave activity - beta, alpha, theta and delta, using
gentle breath paired with guided meditation. The ‘goal’ of Yoga
Nidra is to balance in the place between wakefulness and sleep.
That being said, you cannot do Yoga Nidra wrong, there is no fail.
This tranquil, deep practice is accessible to all bodies of all
ages and ability. No experience
necessary.
A regular Yoga Nidra practice has been shown to positively impact blood pressure, immunity, blood sugar, mood, PMS, anxiety, PTSD, sleep, focus, fatigue and general tension. It is said that 1 hour of Yoga Nidra is the equivalent of 4 hours of deep, restorative sleep.
Each class is approximately 45 minutes long, with community time following class - which is optional.
