Laura brings decades of experience as a professional musician to her classes, incorporating a variety of instruments including vocals, guitar, harmonium, hand pan and other meditative soundscapes. “Like no other experience I’ve had with Yoga Nidra, this beautiful offering literally brought me to tears of joy. A renewal of heart and soul, it is a magical musical journey into the beauty and peace of one's True Self, deeply connecting to the pulse of all that lives; a deep, deep nourishment that restores healthy sleep, vitality and creativity. I highly recommend this!” - Lisa Namyet, E-RYT500 Bhakti nidra is experienced while lying down in a comfortable position in order to promote rest and regeneration. Bring your mat, props such as a pillow or blanket, and layers to stay warm and comfortable. You are also welcome to bring a journal to write in when we finish, as insights and creative ideas often emerge from this practice. Bhakti Heart - Ecstatic Chant, Soaring Musicianship What happens when two inspiring, award-winning singer songwriters and multi- instrumentalists join together to share their love of ecstatic chant?
