Yoga Nidra, Yin, & Sound Savasana

Enjoy the opportunity to rest and restore with Yoga Nidra and Yin yoga. This class combines the deep stretching poses of Yin yoga with the deep relaxation of Yoga Nidra. We will end class with soothing sounds from various sound bath instruments during savasana. Yoga Nidra is an ancient art and science using guided meditation to bring you to an effortless state of being between wakefulness and deep sleep. Yoga Nidra is a practice of non-doing, simply listening to the meditation instructions that guide you through a systematic and easeful letting go of tension in all the layers of our being so we can rest completely with our truest nature. With consistent practice, Yoga Nidra may reduce tension, improve the quality of sleep, decrease feelings of anxiety and overwhelm, and increase the sense of well-being and happiness! Yin yoga is a primarily floor-based practice that involves finding the perfect variation of a pose for each unique body, and then holding that pose for 3-5 minutes. Yin allows us to work into the deeper tissues of our ligaments, joints, deep facial networks, and even our bones. These poses focus on stillness of the body and the mind, creating the opportunity for a meditative mindset. This is a powerful practice for body, mind, and spirit! Please bring any props and supports you would like! Recommendations include: a mat, yoga blocks (2), a blanket, a bolster, and an eye pillow (or light towel).
