Yoga Nidra is “yogic sleep.” It’s a comprehensive practice for going far beyond deep relaxation to a place of natural peace and quiet that is tremendously healing for the body, mind, and spirit. Progressive relaxation skills, specialized breathing techniques, guided imagery, and mindfulness are systematically used to easily create a deeply meditative state that reliably reveals and awakens an inner reservoir of intuitive understanding and unconditional joy. Unique 
skills are developed for handling stress and tension in the short term and for the long run. It’s delightful.
Join in and learn the essential principles and practices of yoga nidra and why it matters. Practice sensory withdrawal (pratyahara) to experience 6 amazing levels of relaxed being to replenish your energy and activate creativity and intuition. Reliable guidance is given for safely and effortlessly experiencing a series of brain wave states and uplifting levels of consciousness. Doing this makes it completely possible to clear out useless habits and bring about positive and permanent changes in your personality and life by using a sankalpa (special, self-selected resolve) during certain stages. Feeling these potent phases of awareness also explain why one hour of practice is equal to four hours of sleep. It’s gratifying and exhilarating. You will feel replenished and gain realistic strategies to bring all this home with you.

When I was able (and strong & brave & loving enough) to step away from my stormy life for this program, I noticed I still have so much love & calm & HOPE & strength. It was just smothered like a perfect, precious gem under a pile of dirty clothes. It was so hard to see it but it was and always will be there no matter what. Knowing the jewel is there, under the heap, is so exciting because that keeps the hop. – Anne
