A way to “work in” vs. work out. Join others who want to develop or advance a meditation practice in this group setting.

We’ll then experience Yoga Nidra, an ancient practice from the yoga tradition. Yoga Nidra, or “yogic sleep,” is an effortless state of being, experienced in a reclined position, that invites complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. With its many profound benefits, we will use it to further deepen our practice. Class will include Nada yoga, using crystal singing bowls, gong baths and other sound/music designed to unify. Seated breathing exercises and an extended session of meditation conclude the class. This class is designed for those interested in developing their creativity, personal insights, unification in mind body and breath, and spiritual transformation.
