What is Yoga Nidra? Yoga Nidra is a somatic based meditation practice that can take place resting on one’s back, sitting in a chair, or even through slow paced, gentle mindful movement. It has been practiced throughout the world for over 1,000 years. Current research has found that a regular practice of Yoga Nidra can effectively support things like resiliency, creativity; pain management; better sleep and emotional wellness.

I find that having continuity in a series format can really help in establishing a regular practice needed to truly experience the health benefits of Yoga Nidra. The first 15 minutes of each meeting will be devoted to checking in with students and exploring some of the history and current research around the benefits of practice. The last 45 minutes will include a restorative Yoga Nidra practice.

Held in Phinney Ridge Yoga’s Online Zoom classroom.

Schedule: Thursdays, April 29th – June 3rd, 2021 @7p.m. – 8p.m.
