Shiva Rest® classes offer students the chance to experience a full-length guided yoga Nidra meditation practice. Yoga Nidra is sometimes referred to as psychic sleep or deep relaxation with inner awareness. Yoga Nidra is a powerful technique in which students learn to relax consciously while sitting in a comfortable seated position or lying in a comfortable resting position. Students practice a systematic method of inducing complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation, learning to let go of the outer world and the body, and turn inward, and ultimately to let go of the mind and experience a deeper connection to the true nature of the Self. This class is suitable for all levels and is excellent for those who are new to meditation and for anyone who is looking to reduce stress, promote healing, find more rest and relaxation, and for those who want to experience a deeper state of Being and Awareness.
