What to expect
Mindful Movement Meditation: a meditation that incorporates movement in a gentle, mindful and intentional to explore awareness of body breath and surroundings. Some of these practices are drawn from Thai chi and somatics.
Restorative Yoga: a yoga practice with long held poses, supported by props in gentle, therapeutic poses designed to relax the body and encourage deep surrender.
Yoga Nidra: during Yoga Nidra, practitioners are encouraged to remain in a state of relaxed awareness, similar to the state between wakefulness and sleep. Despite the name, the goal is not to fall asleep but rather to enter a state of profound relaxation where the subconscious mind can be accessed more easily. 15min of Yoga Nidra equals 1h of deep rest with the similar benefits of sleep.
This class is tailored to create a safe and non-judgmental space for self-awareness, deep rest and profound relaxation, to replenish your spirit, rejuvenate your body, and cultivate a sense of inner peace that transcends the boundaries of the mat.
