In this online workshop (Tuesdays: Mar. 9, 16, 23, and 30) led by Julie Lusk, E-RYT 500, M.Ed., discover the essential principles, practices, and benefits of Yoga Nidra, or “yogic sleep.” Go far beyond deep relaxation to a place of natural peace and quiet that is tremendously healing for the body, mind, and spirit. Yoga Nidra reliably reveals and awakens your inner reservoir of intuitive understanding and unconditional joy. You will learn progressive relaxation skills, specialized breathing techniques, guided imagery, mindfulness to easily create a deep meditative state, and unique skills for handling stress and tension.
Yoga Nidra is based on Yoga teachings and backed by contemporary science. Yoga Nidra is fundamental to a complete Hatha Yoga session and can also be done as a separate practice on its own. It is gratifying and exhilarating. Register via Yogaville Online.
