Restore and Rest Yoga/Nidra Class

OPEN FOR REGISTRATION NOW!

Find peace and relaxation of the body and the mind.

Restorative yoga involves gently supported yoga postures to relax the body and allow the mind to come into stillness, helping the body and mind rest, heal, and restore balance.

We begin the class grounding with a drum bath. The first half of the class will be settling the body and mind through breath and restorative yoga poses, then we move into a Yoga Nidra and close with a drum bath.

Yoga nidra is often referred to as yogic sleep; the body and the mind are primed for deep rest through intention setting (sankalpa), meditation, and relaxing all parts of the body. Traveling through brain states and energy layers, you will explore a power which can be accessed when it's in the receptive hypnogogic state of alpha brain. This practice activates a physical and mental release of emotional tension, slows down the nervous system and allows the muscles to relax, helping the body rest, heal, and can change limiting beliefs and conditioning. We will travel through and explore the seven main chakra points during this yoga Nidra practice.

Why Restore and Rest Yoga...

Now more than ever we are in need of social, physical and emotional health! This class is designed to foster togetherness and connect in a restorative environment by nourishing the mind, body and soul. Deep relaxation offers powerful benefits in reducing everyday life stress and tension while promoting self-care.

Restorative Yoga involves gently supported yoga postures to relax the body and allow the mind to come into stillness. Yoga props allow time for longer postures and deeper breathing helps with relaxation, releases muscle tension, balances the nervous system, and develops qualities of compassion and understanding towards self.

Yoga Nidra is often referred to as Yogic sleep; the body and the mind are primed for deep rest through intention setting (Sankalpa), meditation, and relaxing all parts of the body. This practice activates a physical and mental release of emotional tension, slows down the nervous system and allows the muscles to relax, helping the body rest, heal, and restore balance.
