Yoga Nidra for a night of healing,restful sleep
So many people experience sleep issues. By alleviating daily stress and anxiety, Yoga Nidra may help improve sleep. For those with insomnia, it can help with falling asleep more easily and encourages a more restorative sleep state. Yoga Nidra promotes physical, emotional, and mental relaxation which improves the quality of your sleep.
Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation -- there are no physical movements or poses -- it uses deep breathing and mindfulness techniques to calm the mind and relax the body. During Yoga Nidra, you’re not doing anything but laying in a comfortable position, usually on your back, and listening to the sound of my voice which will allow your body to relax deeply.

Good Morning Yoga Nidra
Start your day with meditation! We’ll practice about 40 minutes of Yoga Nidra, a guided meditation technique. Amrit Yoga Nidra is one of the easiest ways to meditate. You just invite your body to be still and follow the instructions as best as you can!
Usually, we are in a reclined position, or it can be accommodated for seated. You don’t need special yoga clothes and you won’t get sweaty. Sunrise Yoga Nidra is the perfect way to start your day with meditation and still make it to work or your next activity on time. You’ll leave feeling both relaxed and energized!

Thursdays 7:15-8 pm
Rejuvenating Yoga Nidra
Stress, worry, and anxiety can weaken the immune system by raising your blood pressure, heart rate, and breath rate and impacting your digestion. If the stress response persists for too long, your brain rewires into a state of chronic stress.
But there’s good news!! You can counteract the effects of stress on your body. It has been scientifically proven that during Yoga Nidra, there is a natural decrease in the amount of cortisol (the main stress hormone) released in the body. At the same time, Yoga Nidra can naturally increase the release of “feel good” chemicals in the body such as melatonin, serotonin, and endorphins. As we reduce the physical impact of stress and activate the relaxation response, the body’s immune system is naturally boosted.
Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation -- there are no poses -- it uses breath and mindfulness techniques to relax the body and calm the mind. During Yoga Nidra, you simply lay down in a comfortable position, usually on your back, and follow the guidance.

Fridays 9-10am
Yin Yang Yoga
In this class we will work with some active I AM Yoga standing postures and traditional Yin yoga postures. Yin is more internal, passive, cooling, and downward. It works on the connective tissues and joints, stimulating the meridians (energy channels) bringing balance to the organs in the body
A Yang style yoga is more external, energetic, warming and upward, strengthening the body, improving circulation and flexibility.
Yin Yang Yoga brings together the benefits of both styles of yoga, passively holding Yin yoga poses with more energetic I AM sequences and standing postures ultimately balancing body and mind.
Props that may be used in class include but are not limited to bolsters, straps, blankets, blocks, pillows…
