Each class includes approximately 40-50 minutes of Ananda Yoga, followed by yoga nidra.
After releasing tension from the body and mind through gentle Ananda Yoga, you will lie down with any props desired to maximize your comfort. Then simply listen as the instructor guides you through the experience of yoga nidra.
Deeply relaxing, yoga nidra offers many healing benefits to the body and mind. Although often referred to as "sleep' or "yogic sleep," the practitioner is in a relaxed state of awareness akin to the the 3-5 minutes typically experienced just before falling to sleep at night.
Yoga nidra offers many benefits, including:
- increasing dopamine release up to 65%
- reduces stress and anxiety
- slows down brainwaves, increasing the body's ability to rest, restore, and heal
- reducing symptoms of PTSD / trauma
- reduces chronic pain
- reduces PMS symptoms
- improves sleep and reduces insomnia
- and more!
