Turning Inward: A Yoga Nidra + Pratyahara Practice

Join us for a 90-minute immersive journey into Pratyahara — the fifth limb of yoga, often described as the gateway between the outer world and the inner one. Pratyahara invites us to gently withdraw our senses, quiet the mind, and reconnect with our inner stillness.

This workshop includes:

30 minutes of gentle, introspective yoga asana to prepare the body and settle the nervous system

30 minutes of guided Yoga Nidra (yogic meditative sleep) to deepen the inward turn

30 minutes of meditation, pranayama, silence, and contemplative stillness

We’ll also take time to explore the meaning of Pratyahara and how to bring it into daily life. Journaling is welcome — please bring your journal if you’d like to reflect or take notes.

All props are provided, including a clean sleeping eye mask, which is yours to take home. You’re also welcome to bring your own eye mask if you prefer.

This workshop is open to all levels and is designed to be a deeply restful, nourishing space for inward connection.
