Gentle Yoga into Yoga Nidra - All Levels

About this event

Slow down. Breathe. Rest deeply. A mindful, slower-paced practice combining intentional movement and breath awareness to help you feel more balanced and at ease in your body and mind. Gentle yoga offers accessible movement for all bodies, ages, and experience levels , with options to support different needs, abilities, and ranges of motion. You’ll move with awareness, using breath and mindful movement to soften physical tension, settle the mind, and create a greater sense of ease within the body. Class closes with Yoga Nidra , a guided meditation and deep relaxation practice that invites you to move beyond ordinary waking awareness. Lying comfortably and remaining still, you’ll be guided through breath, body awareness, and visualization. As the body rests and the mind remains gently aware, you may enter a hypnagogic state , the natural threshold between wakefulness and sleep. Research on Yoga Nidra and deep relaxation has observed changes in brain activity, including increased alpha brainwave activity, which is associated with a calm, relaxed yet awake state, as well as changes in theta brainwave activity as the mind moves toward deeper relaxation. Rather than simply “checking out,” Yoga Nidra offers a unique state in which the body can become deeply restful while a thread of awareness remains present. A peaceful Sunday evening practice to release the week, restore your energy, and prepare your body and mind for the week ahead. All bodies. All levels. All ages welcome.
