Restorative Yoga Nidra Class

Nourish your body, mind, and spirit with this restorative yoga nidra class.

Allow Konnie Gillen to lead you through a series of restorative poses where your body will be supported completely by bolsters, blocks and blankets to allow you to relax and unwind from the stress of the outer world. Followed by a 40-minute guided yoga nidra practice where you will choose a sankalpa or intention. Yoga nidra can help improve sleep, increase creativity and lower stress and anxiety levels.

Konnie’s teaching style is gentle and breath focused, encouraging you to listen to your body and its inner wisdom. Konnie believes that practicing self compassion can heal you and change your relationship to yourself and with others. She has found yoga and pranayama (breathwork) practice to be key to a balanced nervous system. A year ago she stepped out of her comfort zone to try aerial yoga and loves the playful aspect of that practice as well as yoga on her mat. She loves spin classes and can be found at Cyclebar several times a week. She is an avid lover of nature and finds the power of the earth helps us remember who we really are, remembering our true nature is goodness. She is the mother of 3 children.
