This 2 hour workshop is an opportunity to tend to the natural rhythms of the body. To ground, warm, and nourish ourselves, and as nature does so beautifully: draw our energy inward ~ a potent hibernation.

What is Yoga Nidra? A state of conscious sleep, where the body is deeply relaxed but the mind remains aware. This potent state can give access to subconscious thoughts and memories and create space for profound self-enquiry. It can also simply be a beautiful way to gift yourself some truly intentional rest, take a little imaginary journey, and find space for total stillness.
