Every Thursday night, join us for our signature yin and yoga nidra offering. What is yoga nidra? It's the ancient yogic practice of meditation -- more specifically, it's the mental state between being awake and being asleep. Our certified yoga nidra instructor, Maura Walsh, will guide you through the entire visualization process. This class will provide you with the opportunity to turn on your relaxation response, which is your body's natural healing state. Yoga nidra allows the body and mind to integrate, heal, and achieve equilibrium. This class will help you with your meditation practice. There will be long yin stretches on the floor during the first half of class to prepare your body for total relaxation and meditation. There is absolutely no experience in either yoga or meditation necessary.
