Give yourself permission to deeply rest.
This soothing practice begins with gentle breathwork and restorative poses supported by bolsters and blankets, preparing you for Yoga Nidra - a state of conscious deep rest where the body sleeps and awareness awakens.

Special Class ~ Thanksgiving Gratitude & Peace Flow
Join us for a beautiful gratitude and peace flow in celebration of Thanksgiving, cultivating peace and sending it to the world.

Yoga Lab ~ Yoga Nidra: Rest & Restore w/ Laura
Yoga Nidra is derived from two Sanskrit words, yoga meaning yolk/union, and nidra meaning sleep. During yoga nidra, one appears to be asleep, but the consciousness functions at a deeper level of awareness. Yoga Nidra is a process by which one can travel from the conscious to the unconscious through the subconscious, planting seeds for positive change. Yoga Nidra is a Pratyahara practice where one withdraws awareness from external sources. Much like guided Savasana, the experience is received so the body is relaxed, and the mind is clear and open to receive seeds planted and fertilized in the subconscious.
