Retreat into deeply experiencing peace and contentment. Mindfulness, purpose, intention/sankalpa, and grace are some of the emerging benefits from the practices of Yoga Nidra, Sound Healing, and Restorative Yoga.
Yoga Nidra, or “psychic sleep,” will be taught within a series of energetically-aligned postures to maintain an optimal brain wave state for yoga nidra while also opening and healing the body so that this deeply meditative practice can be comfortably sustained for an optimal experience.
Our time together will include 4 practices in restorative yoga/yoga nidra, sound healing, and/or a sankalpa/intention exploration. Paired with optional soaking in the bathhouse at Society, you will leave restored in clarity and presence.
