Yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind .
~ Patanjali’s sutra 1.2
Yin postures are passive, done with relaxed muscles and held for several minutes with deep breathing. This allows the body to release tensions and tightness, to enhance energy, cultivate an inward focus and surrender. Explore and nourish the inner layers of the body (joints, connective tissues and organs) and stimulate the flow of chi (prana) through the meridian system. Through inward awareness, we can balance our predominantly outward-focused attention with gentle, compassionate inquiry to what we find in our bodies, minds and hearts.
Then, you are invited to snuggle in with blankets, bolsters and an eye pillow to listen to a guided meditation that systematically relaxes and releases each layer of the body and mind. Yoga Nidra leads you gently to a place of quiet for a deep relaxation. In this threshold state between sleep and wakefulness, contact with the subconscious and unconscious dimensions occurs spontaneously.
*Bring your favorite pillow and blanket and join us for the Sleep of the Yogis.
All levels welcome.
