Yoga Nidra (or yogic sleep) is a ancient practice built upon Indian traditions such as Hinduism and Buddhism. The goal of this class is to help the student to willfully achieve a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping, like the "going-to-sleep" stage, or deep relaxation. It differs from meditation in its method; whereas the meditative state is reached through contemplation and a singular focus, yoga nidra is achieved by internalizing or ‘releasing’ the five senses that comprise the conscious state. Some compare the experience to lucid dreaming.

Class will begin with a brief Yin Yoga practice followed by a guided meditation sequence. Students are encouraged to bring blankets and/or pillows as you will be supine for most of the class.

Free for all members with an unlimited class subscription.
