A Gentle and Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra, & Sound Healing Retreat
Experience blissful relaxation as a radical path to self-realization, supported by an empowered intention-setting process from the tradition of yoga. Retreat into deeply embodied peace and contentment as we explore mindfulness, purpose, intention (sankalpa), and grace through the restorative practices of Yoga Nidra, Restorative & Gentle Yoga, and Sound Healing.
Even for those who have struggled with meditation in the past, these practices resonate deeply. Yoga Nidra guides the body and mind into an optimal brain-wave state—opening and healing the mind-heart-body connection so that we may realize our truest selves with greater wholeness and ease.
Our time together will include:
