Friday Night Yoga Nidra
with Jennifer Cabanero
December 10, 6:00-8:00 pm
ONLINE via ZOOM, $30

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!

What inspires you at a heartfelt level? What makes your heart sing? What are you longing for? These are questions that we often ask ourselves at the beginning of each New Year. Following our deepest heartfelt desires can draw us towards a sense of purpose in life and allows our authentic self to shine through.

Allowing time to connect with our desires may bring about a response that can be felt within the body. These body responses are the messages the heart gives us to help us stay more closely aligned with what is most important. We will be using iRest Yoga Nidra practices to grow our capacity to fully feel into this inner navigation.

Each session typically includes: short meditations, written exercises, and a iRest Yoga Nidra practice specifically designed to awaken the heart and the messages it gives us through the body.

The iRest session will be recorded and made available to participants via email.
All levels of experience welcome.

Harnessing your breath and life force is both an art and a science. In this in-depth 12-month course, you’ll learn the principles and practices for engaging in an informed, regular, and sustained practice of prāṇāyāma (breathwork).

The practice of prāṇāyāma awakens and strengthens the resilience of your body, mind, emotions, and spirit. It balances your energy and supports your health, healing, and well-being.

Engaging the breath with intention also offers direct access to your underlying nondual Essential Nature, which enables you to feel deeply connected within yourself, and intimately interconnected with all of life.

This course is designed for anyone wanting to deepen their knowledge and skills, and develop a personal, at-home practice of prāṇāyāma. This includes students and teachers of yoga and meditation and those who wish to share these principles and practices with their friends, students, or clients. And, health care professionals such as psychologists, social workers, other mental health professionals, and medical doctors who will find this course to be a complementary addition to their skillset.

You’ll explore the underlying philosophy, theory, structure, energetics, and in-depth practices of prāṇāyāma.

You’ll learn:

The anatomy, psycho-physiology, and neuroscience of respiration
The foundations of prāṇāyāma for health, healing, yoga therapy, and meditation
A safe and sustainable way to develop your own practice of prāṇāyāma that’s aligned with your personal intentions and physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing
The underlying philosophy of prāṇāyāma
A multitude of prāṇāyāma techniques that support health, wellbeing, healing, and awakening to your Essential Nature
How to share these practices with others

You can expect:

12 monthly two-hour live online Zoom classes with Richard
Each class to include a live lecture, guided prāṇāyāma practices and a Q&A session to help you build a successful and sustained personal practice
Self-paced, at-home learning
An online support forum
Recordings of each session to be available during the entirety of the course
A comprehensive manual, handouts, and suggested between session readings and home practices
