Yoga Nidra Deep
Relaxation The Profound Inner Journey As is your deepest
driving desire, so are your thoughts. The word "nidra" means sleep, but this is not ordinary sleep. This is yogic sleep, entering a profound state of relaxation in which you are able to descend into deep levels of consciousness and unlock your inner strengths. Learn how to transform your life. Change negative habits and thoughts into positive, life-affirming behaviors. Tap into your own creative potential. Re-discover how to meet life's challenges with enthusiasm and courage. Yoga Nidra holds the key. This class is a one-hour guided relaxation. No yoga experience is needed. Participants must be able to lie quietly on the floor, listening to the teacher's instructions. The class begins with a soothing series of easy yoga postures that prepare the body for deep relaxation. How to Prepare for Yoga Nidra Yoga Nidra Class Etiquette Yoga Nidra is based upon the ancient tantra techniques of nyasa, bhuta shuddhi, and meditation using dharanas. Laura Spaulding has studied these teachings both in ashrams in India and in the U.S., and studied Yoga Nidra with Maja Trigg (founder of Yoga East) and Di Kendall (past president of The British Wheel of Yoga). Karen Strobel, Paul Long and Karen Cairns also study and teach Yoga Nidra. Excellent materials about Yoga Nidra can be obtained from Di Kendall, Richard Miller of Sebastapol, California, and Swami Satyananda of the Bihar School of Yoga in Bihar, India. |
