Description
40' Yin Yoga practice + 20' Yoga Nidra session
Yin Yoga
Postures are restful and held for long periods of time, up to 4 minutes. The long, passive holds activate the parasympathetic nervous system (our rest and digest system), and work to soften and stretch our deepest layers of tissue, the fascia. This is in contrast to the work done by the muscles in more dynamic practices like Ashtanga and Vinyasa.
The key benefits of practicing Yin yoga include increased flexibility, released tension, and the ability to achieve a mindful relaxed state. Yin is such a wonderful break from our fast-paced lifestyles. This class encourages the student to slow down and be aware of one’s stillness.
Yoga Nidra
Nidra means “conscious sleep,” and is described as the mental state between wakefulness and sleep. Students lay on their backs and are guided through a methodical relaxation series. As mental and physical rest begins, students are invited to give themselves a positive affirmation or suggestion to meditate on throughout the exercise. The class ends in blissful, relaxed silence.
