Stressed? Exhausted? Have You Tried Yoga Nidra?

In our over-stimulated world, many of us live chronically exhausted. Yoga Nidra is a systematic way to obtain complete relaxation that rejuvenates and restores body, mind and spirit. Using guided imagery, body scanning and breath work, students are led into a deep physical relaxation, allowing the mind to release tension and stress. It leaves you feeling completely relaxed and rested and at peace with a more positive outlook than before. No experience necessary.

Join Sara Shelley for “Yoga Nidra and the 5 Koshas”. This Friday, May 31, 7:00 – 8:15 pm

Ancient yogic texts reference the kosha model, a map, if you will, that helps navigate one’s inner journey, beginning from the periphery of the body, or physical layer, to the more subtle metaphorical layers, moving towards the core of the self, one’s true essence.

During the practice of Yoga Nidra, we examine and move through these layers in a systematic way. Often likened to Russian nesting dolls or layers of clothing, the Koshas are both a practical and profound contemplative tool for navigating ones inner journey, serving as a pathway for enhancing physical, mental and emotional health and well-being.

Each Yoga Nidra workshop will introduce and focus on a particular Kosha, as well as include practical ways to incorporate the wisdom of each Kosha into daily living.

Fee $25
