The Friday class will vary from Mindfulness, Vipassana (Insight Meditation) and Loving-Kindness. This practice emphasizes mindful attention to the breath, physical sensations, thoughts, and even emotions, to develop a loving awareness of one’s life experience. Loving-Kindness, Compassion, Joy and Equanimity practices are at times added to the meditation. It varies each session.

Classes will vary. Title of class will be marked as just Yoga Nidra or marked as Sound Healing Rest™.

Yoga Nidra, often referred to as yogic sleep, is a powerful meditation technique. In this practice, you'll be guided through a state of conscious deep relaxation, where the mind hovers between wakefulness and sleep. It's an effortless journey that brings profound calmness, quietness, and clarity. Yoga Nidra is known for its ability to relieve stress, reduce anxiety, and enhance overall well-being.

Sound Healing Rest™, our exclusive fusion, takes the practice of Yoga Nidra to another level. It combines the traditional elements of Yoga Nidra with the healing vibrations of sound. Throughout the session, you'll be surrounded by the soothing tones of Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, and other sound healing instruments. This combination not only deepens your meditative state but also harmonically tunes your body and mind, promoting a deeper sense of inner peace and balance.

Whether you choose Yoga Nidra for its classic, restorative meditation or Sound Healing Rest™ for an enriched experience with sound therapy, both practices are suited for anyone seeking a respite from the stresses of daily life. No prior experience in meditation or yoga is required – just come with an open mind and a willingness to relax deeply.

Join us for a session and embark on a journey to tranquility, rejuvenation, and self-discovery.

All classes are recorded for the Meditation Library, see link below.

IMPORTANT UPDATE ON TONIGHT'S CLASS

Here at home, we have been dealing with a refrigerator that has been having issues. A new one was hoping to be here a little earlier today, but now it’s going to be here about an hour before class. Because of the potential noise, distraction and my assistance to my husband and his friend, I will be unable to lead the class. My apologies for that.

HOWEVER --- What I will do is so we don’t lose any of our 4 weeks this month that I have planned for the series is right now I will make a recording of the class that I would have taught later tonight and get it out to you as soon as I can.

Thank you for your understanding and patience!
