Must register in advance

Yoga Nidra is also known as Yogic Sleep or Psychic Sleep.

During the practice of Yoga Nidra, we appear to be asleep, yet we are not sleeping - consciousness is functioning at a deeper level of awareness.

Yoga Nidra is mainly practiced as a meditation where deep relaxation is the by-product. It's a very powerful technique in which we learn to relax consciously. We withdraw the senses so that the mind and the mental awareness are dissociated from the sensory channels and turned deeply inwards.

In Yoga Nidra, 'the door' between the conscious and subconscious mind remains open and our awareness keeps moving between the two.
Yoga Nidra is a systematic method of inducing complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation while maintaining complete awareness.

A sound bath is a deeply immersive, full-body listening experience with various health benefits. This therapeutic and restorative process can nurture the mind, soothe emotions and stimulate the body in powerful and positive ways through the vibrations and frequencies of sound.

 

All are welcome. No prior meditation experience is needed.

Please bring a blanket, dress in layers and wear socks.
