We begin with an easy yoga movement sequence preparing the body for mindful rest. We will explore various meditation studies, including Yoga Nidra, Mindfulness, and Metta (loving-kindness meditation).

During the second half of the class, we will explore various forms of meditation. Our main focus will be Yoga Nidra which translates to “yoga sleep.” It is a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping, like the “going-to-sleep” or hypnagogic stage, assisted by a gentle guided meditation. In Yoga Nidra, you are fully conscious while in a deeply relaxed state.

Expect Yoga Nidra in the 1st and 3rd weeks and meditation studies in the 2nd and 4th week
