Friday Night Yoga Nidra returns for the solstice!
iRest Yoga Nidra is a meditation and relaxation practice that enables you to be able to handle the stress and strains we feel in daily life. Derived from the Yoga tradition, iRest is an evidence-based approach with research that shows it is helpful with healing anxiety, sleep, and chronic pain disorders, as well as increasing wellbeing and joy.
This special Friday Night class begins with simple movement to help you ease tension in the body, followed by calming breath work before the deeply relaxing and restorative practice of Yoga Nidra.
No previous experience is necessary, and all are welcome.

The loss of a beloved can be one of the most agonizing, even obliterating, times in a person’s life. If the death was unexpected or through violence, there will likely be shock and the inability to comprehend what has happened as well.
What does the nervous system have to do with all this? Everything! When we can add wise work with the nervous system to the experience of grief, there can also be a sense of sacred presence to what is happening, as well as ideas of what might be helpful, if anything. There is also the possibility for deep connection: with family, community, and eventually something bigger, even as the pain of grief is present. There may even eventually be a sense of connection to the person who is physically gone.
When you feel safe and supported in community, your grief will have a very different flavor, one that bonds you to others. Since we live in a culture that is death-phobic (a phrase coined by Stephen Jenkinson), it is especially important to care for ourselves and each other during these life-altering experiences, and to explore and create meaningful rituals that support the needs of the whole community.
Together we’ll explore the trajectory of grief through states of the nervous system with support through poetry, writing and drawing, conversation, movement, and a few good questions.
*Please note this workshop is being presented in partnership with Radiant Yoga and Wellness in Ohio. Your Zoom link will be sent from Radiant Yoga and Wellness.
