yoga nidra, a practice of deep rest & inner peace

true healing occurs when the mind / body is able to rest

Yoga Nidra is an ancient practice of meditation that can lead to inner freedom. It employs several practices which work at the physical, energetic, mental and emotional levels, allowing us to reconnect with our deepest self. These practices help to harmonize the two hemispheres of the brain and the two aspects of the autonomic nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic).

When practiced regularly, Yoga Nidra can:

• Induce deep relaxation at all levels: physical, mental and emotional
• Change the patterning of the mind along positive lines
• Improve the quality of sleep
• Lessen health issues linked to stress such as insomnia, hypertension, depression

Through the practice of Yoga Nidra, we can discover our own innate equanimity and love which remain untarnished by circumstance. Join us and find the possibility of complete relaxation and utter peace.

No prior yoga or meditation experience is necessary.
