YOGA NIDRA *new

Yoga nidra – also called yogic sleep, or sleep with awareness – is an ancient practice that induces full-body relaxation and a deep meditative state of consciousness. Resting into an extended savasana and turning all senses inward, you are guided step by step into your journey. As you move into a meditative state, you gradually find yourself in a state of harmony and ultimate relaxation, in which your brainwaves slow down and a subtle bliss emerges. Experience the profound healing on all levels as we rest deeply into ourselves. Wear warm, comfortable clothing, bring a blanket and yoga mat. Chairs can be used.
Date: Tuesdays, April 9 - 30  
Time: 10:00 – 11:00 am
Fee: $36 LSCO M; $40 NM
