Course Description

The first part of class is gentle stretches and supported poses intended to move the body into ease and softness. This other part of class will be Yoga Nidra, a guided meditative practice that invites deep rest and inner awareness.

As the body relaxes and the nervous system settles, stress begins to dissolve, creating space for clarity, balance, and a deeper connection to breath and mind.

  • Those experiencing physical or mental tension

  • Practitioners looking for a gentle, supportive practice

  • Anyone interested in Yoga Nidra and deep relaxation

All levels are welcome.

How will this help / What will I learn?

Participants will:

  • Learn how to use supported poses to release tension in the body

  • Calm the nervous system and support parasympathetic regulation

  • Develop awareness of breath and its role in relaxation

  • Experience Yoga Nidra as a tool for deep rest and renewal
