This Yoga class is a sweet and gentle blend of Yoga Styles ending in a 10 to 15 min relaxing and restoring Yoga Nidra and designed for the ones among us with busy and active lifestyles especially if you have been feeling a little tense or pressed for time.
In the first part of the class, we are starting down on our mats, holding poses for slightly longer periods of time, targeting the connective tissues of the body to help release deeply stored tension. It is often experienced as deeply meditative, as it invites the practitioner to completely release and let go.
From there we will be moving slowly up with a breath-based gentle Vinyasa flow to build mind/ body strength and flexibility, challenging balance and concentration, and harnessing that energy to promote inner stillness and peace.
At the end of the class of about 50 min there is a choice to quietly leave after a short savasana or stay for a brief 10 to 15 min Yoga Nidra , which is the practice of yogic sleep , a guided meditation technique, which utilizes various practices of body, breath, mind, energy & spirit to draw individuals into deeper and subtler states of being where total relaxation and peace and profound healing becomes available. A nourishing and grounding practice, that does not require any extra preparation or knowledge, Nidra is the perfect way to round out your practice and return to your busy life peaceful, rejuvenated and restored.
This class is suitable for anybody basic fitness level and up, who does not have any contraindication to exercise or practice yoga. Throughout the class suggestions for modifications will be provided for you to meet your body where it is at in the present time.
Please bring a mat and a blanket / towel and a water bottle and any props you might have (Blocks / bolsters, to support your practice when called for.

Today's 1/5 Class: Nurturing Self-Care: A Journey Within Yoga Nidra
Meets the 1st and 3rd Fridays of the Month
Immerse yourself in a transformative relaxation experience with our special class that offers both Yoga Nidra and Sound Healing Rest™.

Classes will vary week to week. Title of class will be marked as just Yoga Nidra or marked as Sound Healing Rest™.

Yoga Nidra, often referred to as yogic sleep, is a powerful meditation technique. In this practice, you'll be guided through a state of conscious deep relaxation, where the mind hovers between wakefulness and sleep. It's an effortless journey that brings profound calmness, quietness, and clarity. Yoga Nidra is known for its ability to relieve stress, reduce anxiety, and enhance overall well-being.

Sound Healing Rest™, our exclusive fusion, takes the practice of Yoga Nidra to another level. It combines the traditional elements of Yoga Nidra with the healing vibrations of sound. Throughout the session, you'll be surrounded by the soothing tones of Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, and other sound healing instruments. This combination not only deepens your meditative state but also harmonically tunes your body and mind, promoting a deeper sense of inner peace and balance.

Whether you choose Yoga Nidra for its classic, restorative meditation or Sound Healing Rest™ for an enriched experience with sound therapy, both practices are suited for anyone seeking a respite from the stresses of daily life. No prior experience in meditation or yoga is required – just come with an open mind and a willingness to relax deeply.

Join us for a session and embark on a journey to tranquility, rejuvenation, and self-discovery.
