<div>Yoga Nidra, also sometimes known as yogic sleep, is a guided meditation that helps with rest and relaxation. The meditation will help you consciously relax into the brain space between wakefulness and sleeping. This is a very healing state, both physically and mentally. Studies have shown that you can use yoga nidra to ease insomnia, decrease anxiety, alleviate stress, and foster feelings of peace, calm, and clarity.

<div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">What should I expect? Bring what you need to lay down comfortably for about an hour. Some blankets will be available for use at the studio, but please BYO mat, pillows, and blankets. A small pillow under the neck or head as well as a pillow or blanket roll under your knees can be very helpful. If the room is a little colder than you prefer, you might want a blanket on top of you as well. Class will start with some light stretching and then you will become as comfortable as you can. Then the teacher will verbally guide you through relaxation. You will be still as much as you can, but you are allowed to move if you are uncomfortable. For the duration of class you will just listen to the meditation. </span></div>

<div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">What if I fall asleep? Even if it feels like you've fallen asleep, you're likely to "wake up" or come out of the meditation at the end with everyone else. You might not remember what was said during the meditation, but some part of your brain is still aware of the practice. However, if you do truly fall asleep, that's fine! A goal of this practice is to relax, and if your body needs sleep that's ok. If you start snoring, your teacher will gently and quietly wake you up. </span></div>
