When spilling your morning coffee turns into a full-blown meltdown–it’s time to make space in your month for rest! If life feels like a lot lately, consider this workshop to be a reset button: for 90 minutes you do not need to plan or think, you don’t need to hold space for anyone else, you’re invited to ease slowly into your body and let go of your to-do list in a space created for you to completely rest.
Yin Yoga helps to release tension and patterns of strain within the deepest layers of the body, freeing you from holding on to the physiological response to stress. Yoga Nidra is the ancient, scientific, and methodical practice of combining deep relaxation with guided meditation—giving you space for your nervous system to take an exhale to connect with the human that exists beneath your thoughts, stress, and anxiety.
This workshop will be offered with a period of Yin poses and breath work to prepare your body, mind, and heart for the deep stillness of the Yoga Nidra practice, traditionally experienced in Savasana pose. During the Yin portion of this workshop and with your consent, Reiki practitioners will make their way around the room, offering their healing hands to you in service of heightening your own restorative capacity and aiding in your deepest relaxation.
No experience is necessary and all are welcome! Dress comfortably in layers and experience for yourself this powerful combination of practices.
