Instructor Lisa Long has this to say on her website:
Give yourself a wonderful gift! Yoga Nidra is a state of complete physical, mental, and emotional relaxation. It has been touted as the most powerful relaxation technique known to man. Yoga Nidra effectively works on mental resolve, will power, and resolutions. Many people - from new practitioners to world-class athletes, testify to the unbelievable power and effectiveness of the personal resolution, called a Sankalpa, made during the practice.
The first 30-minutes of the Yoga Nidra experience will include a very gentle physical practice with stretches that prepare the body to lay still for the following 40-minutes. While lying on the back, participants are then cued to levels of awareness, going deep inside until reaching a state between sleeping and waking. You are profoundly relaxed, but retain a trace of awareness. Yoga Nidra itself is not sleep. It can best be described as “Sleep of Awareness”
The power of this therapeutic technique, if practiced regularly, can help manage stress, insomnia, and mental/physical pain, clearing away old patterns of thinking and behaving that are no longer a benefit to well-being.
If you are interested, please register early. Yoga Nidra usually fills 2 weeks prior to the experience.
