Just as an orchard needs a period of dormancy in the winter to produce abundant fruit in the summer, we also need periods of time dedicated to deep rest, a kind of rest that is different from sleep or sitting watching a show. It might not look like much is happening, but within; lively percolations of energy are building, and seeds of creativity are germinating.

Each class, a nourishing gift to ourselves, will include exploring the balance between stillness and movement as we gently move the body, and then luxuriously rest in restorative poses. iRest Yoga Nidra will be woven throughout, and be given its own time in the latter portion of each class.

This 4-week series is a beautiful way to replenish energy, grow resiliency, and increase the ability to be more at ease in the midst of life, a perfect gift to ourselves!

All levels welcome.

It will be helpful to have props such as:
Bolsters – or several folded blankets or couch cushions
Blocks – or pillows or cushions or a stack of books
Blankets for warmth
Eye Pillow
Journal and something to write with.

Friday Night Yoga Nidra
with Jennifer Cabanero
December 16, 6:00-8:00 pm Pacific
$40, ONLINE via ZOOM
preregistration required

Based on the ancient teachings of meditation, Yoga Nidra is a transformative practice that leads to psychological, physical, and spiritual healing and well-being.

Its practice is integrative as it heals the various unresolved issues and traumas that are present in your body and mind, and restorative as it enables you to recognize your innate peace of mind that is always present amidst all changing circumstances of life.

The Friday night Yoga Nidra class is a nourishing way to start your weekend. When we are in harmony with ourselves this changes our experience of the world. We become more at ease, less reactive to life, and more responsive to the others around us.

What to expect:
There will be a short lecture, a BodySensing movement practice, and a full Yoga Nidra practice. BodySensing has also been referred to as Non-dual Yoga or Kashmiri Yoga and is a meditative practice that uses movement as a way to connect with ourselves and to open into peace, well-being, and our inherent wholeness.

All levels of experience are welcome
Preregistration is required for this class
Please bring comfortable clothes that will keep you warm and perhaps a pillow for extra coziness!

Upcoming dates: 2023 dates coming soon!
