New Moon in May Yin + Nidra
What is Yoga Nidra?
In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, finding moments of tranquility and inner peace can seem like an elusive dream. But what if I told you there’s a practice that can lead you into a state of profound relaxation and rejuvenation, allowing you to tap into the depths of your being? Enter Yoga Nidra, the ancient art of yogic sleep.
Imagine being in a state where you are neither fully awake nor asleep, where your body is at complete rest while your mind remains alert and aware. This is the essence of Yoga Nidra. It’s a guided meditation practice that systematically induces physical, mental, and emotional relaxation, leading you to a state of deep inner awareness.
Yin + Nidra
Let’s embark on a journey with Michele as she intertwines Yin Yoga with the practice of Yoga Nidra. Yin Yoga, with its gentle, long-held poses, prepares the body and mind by releasing tension and opening up energy channels. It’s like laying the foundation for a serene sanctuary within yourself.
As Michele guides you through Yin Yoga, you’ll feel the subtle shifts in your body and breath, gently surrendering to the present moment. With each pose, you’ll sink deeper into a state of relaxation, paving the way for the transformative experience of Yoga Nidra.
Yoga Nidra is often referred to as yogic sleep because it takes you to the edge of consciousness, where profound healing and inner exploration can occur. As you lie comfortably on your back, Michele will lead you through a series of instructions, directing your attention to different parts of your body, sensations, breath, emotions, and imagery.
Through this guided journey, you’ll gradually release physical and mental tension, entering a state of deep relaxation where the boundaries between the conscious and subconscious begin to blur. It’s a space where you can let go of worries, fears, and limitations, allowing your true essence to shine through.
