Winter Solstice Yoga Nidra

It’s the shortest day of the year – the Winter Solstice.

Smack-dab in the middle of the busy holiday season . . . parties, shopping, travel . . . 

So many things to do! It’s exhausting.

Pamper yourself with a delicious time-out; a pause to rest in the quietude of winter.

Enjoy a restorative, rejuvenating, deeply relaxing session of yoga nidra.

Yoga nidra is a guided, multi-stage relaxation/meditation practice that takes to you that sweet spot between wakefulness and sleep – the alpha state (a slow brain-wave state). Here you can hover near the subconscious and listen more closely to your wise inner voice.

In this event, we'll take time to:

• move the body and breathe a bit

• then settle into the guided yoga nidra practice (usually practiced while lying on your back, but any position will work)

• we’ll emerge and sit in simple meditation

• then we’ll take time to write and discuss

You’ll need:

• A quiet place where you won’t be interrupted

• Comfy clothing in layers to adjust for body temp fluctuations

• Space to lie down, usually on the floor, but a couch, recliner or bed will do

• Supportive props like blankets and pillows

• A journal/paper and pen

Bring a friend – it’s cheaper and makes a great holiday gift!
