We have experienced events that seem physically and mentally overwhelming. Even if they occurred long ago, our body still reacts as if it were happening right now. By mindfully touching the body, we learn to calm ourselves and experience inner peace. We are taking care of ourselves. Inspired by Bessel van der Kolk.

Yoga Nidra meditation is practiced in a lying down position. We will follow a series of breathing exercises and a body scan. By letting go of thinking and doing we relax into a state of feeling and being. Within a short time, you become submerged in the stillness of loving awareness. We welcome whatever happens without judgement, allowing the body and mind to let go of stress and relax deeply. Inspired by Amrit Desai.
