Join us for this mid-day, mid-season mini-series to explore a practice to support complete rest and intentional recharge for body, mind and heart.
Scientific research supports the power of Yoga Nidra (also known as yogic sleep) to support brain health, nervous system regulation and stress reduction by intentionally shifting the practitioner from high activity beta brain waves associated with stress and anxiety, toward alpha and theta brain wave states, naturally increasing Gaba (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid), melatonin, serotonin and endorphins, inducing a sense of calm and relaxation, through an intentionally sequenced and fully supportive reclined guided meditation. Practitioners are able to move into a blissful delta brain wave state, associated with deep restorative sleep, in which our bodies are able to more effectively metabolize cortisol, the stress hormone, as well as optimizing cellular regeneration and healing.
In this half hour class, conveniently offered during your mid-day lunch break, Chris will guide you through a Yoga Nidra meditation to help you find this state of deep relaxation and rejuvenation, moving through a state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep, and recharging you for the afternoon ahead. Some practitioners actually fall asleep by the end of a Yoga Nidra practice, and although this is not the goal, it is absolutely welcome! Many practitioners who have a regular Yoga Nidra routine use this as a more restorative replacement to their mid-day nap, offering clarity, focus and a true break for those busy brains and bodies.
Explore a different kind of mid-week, mid-day recharge, and see how Yoga Nidra might support you in your holistic health and wellness.
This series leads up to a special culminating event on Oct 26 with Chris and Heather incorporating Yoga Nidra and Reiki. Participants of the Nidra series will receive a 15% discount for this special event!
