Yin Yoga is for you when you are tired or over-stimulated, when your energy is too erratic, your mind overactive, or you are craving energy. Often Pure Energy is infused into Yin Yoga sessions, offering a boost if you are activating ascension.

Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation known as “yogic sleep” or “effortless relaxation”. The practice draws your attention inward as you fluctuate between states of wakefulness and sleep. Your breath balances and becomes quiet. Both unconscious and conscious aspects of the mind reveal themselves as you fall into an innate state of deep, blissful awareness. Yoga Nidra allows you to fully experience interconnected wholeness, activating ascension, and becoming aware of your true nature.

This gentle yoga class is appropriate for all levels and intended to offer reprieve from weekday work stress.
