A lovely mid week wind down as the sun sets and we relax into the weekend with some asana to warm up the body and lying down guided meditation to bring coolness and calm.
We begin with light movements, visualization and breath work to warm up the body, then 35-45 minutes of divine yogic sleep (Yoga Nidra).
What is it?
Yoga Nidra is deceptively simple. Because it is taught lying down it's appealing to people who might feel intimidated by yoga postures or traditional seated meditation. Its various elements, taken together and practiced regularly, make up a sophisticated set of mindbody tools that can help practitioners navigate some of life's harshest moments.
How it works
Yoga Nidra is the state of being between sleep and wakefulness where the relaxation response and regeneration occur. This healing practice relieves stress patterns by retraining the nervous system to relax which creates a natural setting for the body to heal itself. Yoga Nidra is the perfect supplement to yoga, therapy, meditation, and other healing modalities or can be used alone.
Science Agrees
Yoga Nidra has been proven through studies at Stanford, Walter Reed Army Medical Center and other universities to help reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, high blood pressure, insomnia, addiction and cholesterol, and increases overall calm and feelings of well-being, enhances creativity and motivation, strengthens the endocrine system, and balances the nervous system.
