The holidays can be a joyous time but may also stir up thoughts and emotions that can disrupt sleeping patterns.

Monthly Yoga Nidra
With Sharon Holly
Thursday, December 19th
7:00pm – 8:00pm (PST)
Via Zoom
Yoga Nidra is an ancient meditation practice that utilizes your innate biological process of sleep to access the deepest state of consciousness, where restoration can occur on all levels of your body and being. You will be guided through a series of breath and awareness techniques that support the body in releasing physical, mental, and emotional tension.
This practice allows the body to enter the space between wakefulness and sleep, unlocking your healing potential. This ancient yogic technique effortlessly takes you to a state of deep relaxation where you may change your relationship to pain, habits, and stressful situations. With practice, it can provide you with the capacity to move through life with greater ease and peace, no matter what the external circumstances are around you.
It is typically done lying down on the floor, couch, or bed but can also be done in a recliner or comfortable chair. Each class will start with a short lesson followed by a Q&A. The actual meditation will be approximately 40 minutes. Benefits of Yoga Nidra have been reported to support better sleep, decrease pain, anxiety, and blood pressure, as well as increase energy, mood, and overall well-being.
ALL LEVELS ARE WELCOME, and no prior experience is needed.
