Yoga Nidra or Yoga Sleep is one of the deepest and most profound meditations one can experience. As you are guided into a deep but conscious relaxation you are able to access and release samskaras (innate tendencies, impressions created by previous actions or thought). Traditionally, Yoga Nidra was used to reach enlightenment. Today, it is most often used therapeutically. In this workshop, you will begin by exploring the samskaras that are most present in your life, create a sankalpa (a vow or conscious intention to support and abide by your highest truth) and then drop into a full 45-minute yoga nidra experience! The room will be filled with powerful healing energy and hands on assists will be offered to those who would like it.
Please note: One’s temperature tends to drop during meditation… if you are prone to being cold please bring extra layers to keep yourself comfortable.
