Donation Based: Yoga Nidra to Benefit WZGT

Immerse yourself in the deeply nourishing and restorative practice of Yoga Nidra, in the style of Integrative Restoration (iRest).

About this special Class

This 75 minute, trauma-informed class begins with an orientation to Yoga Nidra and its history, followed by gentle stretching to prepare your body for rest. Class will then move into an iRest Yoga Nidra practice.

This guided, somatic (body-oriented) meditation facilitates deep rest, making way for the recognition of one's essence nature to reveal itself. With the use of props, blankets, and sound, the body will be fully supported to open into the nourishing depths of this practice.

Class concludes with time for integration and debrief, offering an opportunity to reflect, ask questions, and connect with one another as desired.No previous experience is needed—this practice benefits all beings, whether you’re new to meditation or seasoned.

Preparing for Class:  

The studio provides a limited number of bolsters and blankets on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants are encouraged to bring an eye mask, extra blankets, pillows, and warm layers, including cozy socks, to ensure their comfort.

Please plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early to settle in and be ready for class to begin promptly at 6:30 PM.
