She strives to teach in a way that provides access to all ages and levels of abilities, creates thought and meaning and lends challenges, both physically and mentally. Alison loves a great playlist to flow to! When not teaching, she is an enthusiastic participant for different genres of fitness classes, and hangs out with her husband and pup.
Description
Welcome to the world of Yoga Nidra!
Yoga Nidra, meaning yogic sleep, is a relaxation technique that involves lying down and being guided through mental imagery to achieve a state of deep relaxation and awareness. It’s not about falling asleep, but rather a state of conscious awareness between wakefulness and sleep.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
Guided Relaxation:
A teacher or facilitator guides the practice, using words and imagery to lead participants through a body scan, breathwork, and mental visualizations.
Deep Relaxation:
Yoga Nidra aims to promote deep relaxation and stress reduction by engaging the body and mind.
Conscious Awareness:
While the body is relaxed, participants maintain a sense of awareness, allowing for a deeper understanding of their thoughts and emotions.
Benefits:
Yoga Nidra can improve sleep quality, reduce stress and pain, and promote a sense of calm and well-being.
Yoga Nidra is often described as a form of guided meditation that helps individuals transition between wakefulness and sleep, accessing a state of deep relaxation and inner awareness.
