Yoga Nidra Meditation with Denise
Sunday, January 19
3 – 4:30 pm
$25 (both in-person & virtual)
As we settle into stillness, January’s meditation will cultivate peacefulness.
Yoga Nidra means “yogic sleep.” It is a comprehensive practice for going far beyond deep relaxation to a place of natural peace and quiet that is tremendously healing for the body, mind, and spirit. In this highly regenerative meditative state you can restore and rejuvenate your body, heal and recover from illness, and re-wire your brain for greater mental and emotional balance and resiliency. Suitable for ALL levels. We will begin with a few very simple stretching exercises to become aware of our physical bodies before we become comfortable (using props as needed) in a supine position for the guided meditation.
