Yoga Nidra

What is YOGA NIDRA? Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation done lying down.... but it is much more than a nap! The body sleeps, the mind rests, but the consciousness is active. 45-minutes of yoga nidra is like 4 hours of sleep! Yoga Nidra has amazing healing benefits for the physical, emotional and mental body. -Increased release of GABA (stabilizes mood) -Increased serotonin (improves cognitive function) -Increased melatonin (regulates sleep cycle, slows aging) -Decrease in the release of cortisol (stress steroid) Yoga Nidra takes us out of flight-or-fight mode and restores the parasympathetic response resulting in: -Decreased heart rate and blood pressure -Improved organ function -Enhanced digestion and elimination Yoga nidra is the perfect solution for anxiety, sleeplessness, or a mind & body reset during times of increased stress, like the holidays! Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Do not eat a heavy meal prior to a session. A light meal or a snack an hour before is fine. Bring (or borrow) a yoga mat, and if you'd like, any extra blankets you wish. The idea is to be sublimely comfortable as you lie on your back. If your spine can stay in alignment, you will release more unprocessed energy blockages. If interested, Private sessions are available. Private sessions are the perfect way to work on specific intentions in your life.
