🌙 Yoga Nidra Meditation 🌙
Unwind from the stresses of the week and start your weekend in a state of relaxation. Yoga Nidra, often referred to as "yogic sleep," is a deeply restorative practice that promotes physical relaxation, mental clarity, and emotional balance. It's the perfect way to rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul: your hinengaro, tinana and wairua.
Yoga nidra is a powerful technique that directly works to heal your mind by removing samskaras - untying knots and mental impressions. This practice of learning to relax consciously is well regarded as an antidote for stress, anxiety, poor sleep amongst other health benefits.
What to Expect:
A 75-minute guided Yoga Nidra Meditation led by one of our experienced instructors
A comfortable space to lie down (mats, blankets, bolsters & cushions provided)
A supportive community of fellow meditation enthusiasts
Complementary herbal tea before/after the session;
An opportunity to journal your experience, if desired
A chance to destress and cultivate inner calm
Wear comfortable clothes, and bring an open mind, a journal and eye mask if you have one (not required).
Things to Consider
Everyone is welcome to experience the profound benefits of Yoga Nidra, and no prior experience is required. For some people, however, Yoga Nidra’s prolonged stillness or internal focus can bring up strong emotions, memories, and/or sensations. You are encouraged to listen and respond in a way that feels safe for you — adjusting your position, keeping your eyes open, grounding yourself, or stepping out of the room at any time.
Yoga Nidra may not be suitable for everyone. If you are experiencing acute mental health challenges, unprocessed trauma, or conditions that make stillness or internal focus difficult, we recommend seeking guidance from a qualified healthcare provider or speaking with the teacher before participating.
