Come, rest deeply and gently. Experience a sense of peace and relaxation, a feeling of being fully supported and held in comfort and ease, a welcoming back to a place steeped with wisdom...the space within.
Restorative Yoga:
Every pose is done lying down and fully supported with blankets and pillows or yoga props. These long held postures are a passive way to relax, renew, reduce stress and quiet your body and mind.
Yoga Nidra:
Also known as yogic sleep, nidra is a guided meditation done lying down. It releases tension physically, mentally and emotionally and is said to be equivalent to 4hrs of sleep. Nidra can help cultivate new belief patterns, help release what no longer serves you, it is inspiring and allows you to explore the many parts of yourself.
Find deep rest. Release tension physically and mentally through mindful movement and meditation.
We will open by connecting with our breath to calm and centre, then we will get into slow and mindful movements. This is a restorative flow that allows the body to unwind through repetitive sequences that hold moments of pause within the gentle flow.
We will close with 25 min yoga nidra, a guided meditation done lying down. This healing practice will leave you feeling rested, rejuvenated and deeply relaxed. Yoga Nidra is like sleepless sleep that brings you back home to yourself when you release the tension one layer at at time.

"The YNTT was a beautiful integrative experience that enabled me to deepen my understanding of Yoga Nidra practice, to explore pathways through key elements of the practice, and to develop my own voice and creativity in offering Yoga Nidra as guided meditation practice. As I learned to share this tradition with others, every aspect of my own yoga practice was enriched: breath sensing, body sensing, drawing upon inner resources, visualization and more. Each of the instructors were seasoned masters -- the depth of their pooled experience was inspiring. I highly recommend this course to other seekers!"

Anne, George and I run a Yoga Nidra Immersion and Certification together and at the end of a certification, we came up with this fun improvisation using all of our voices in the final practice. It was such an incredible experience that we got together and did a professional recording of 3 nidras.
We each take lead in one while the others offer back up support through voice and sound.
I hope you enjoy!
