Introduction to Yoga Nidra

We all have experienced stress in our lives, but it seems the past few years have really increased our stress levels. One way to feel calmer and sleep better is through a practice called Yoga Nidra.

Come learn about and experience Yoga Nidra, also known as Non-Sleep Deep Rest or Yogic Sleep. This practice is a guided meditation; there is no bending involved. Research has shown it to be a highly effective way to calm our nervous systems. In this passive but alert state, our bodies can rest deeply and reset.

Terrie Ahlers, certified Yoga Nidra instructor, will guide you through breathing exercises and body scans to help you get the most benefit from the practice.

Please bring portable items that will help you to be able to sit or lie comfortably. Some items might include a mat, a small pillow, a blanket, or an eye covering. After the session, participants should have a good understanding of what Yoga Nidra is all about.
