Healing Aspects of Yoga Nidra – Part 4 of 4 with Sevika Heather Ford
Saturday, June 19, 2021 ⋅ 11:00am – 12:30pm

Discover how to experience a profound state of awareness through the practice of Yoga Nidra. In this online workshop, you will be introduced to this ancient form of mindfulness meditation and experience its profound healing effects throughout the mind, body, and spirit.

With a combination of lecture, gentle movement, and guided practice; you will learn how to tap into your body’s own relaxation and restoration response via the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The physiological benefits of evoking the PNS include slowing heart rate, dampening of the “fight or flight” hormones, deep relaxation, and improved sleep. In this state, the body is able to do what it is wired to do: rejuvenate, repair, and restore at a cellular and energetic level.

Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes, plan to be in a quiet and private space where you can lie comfortably on your back. If coming to the floor is not available to you, a supportive chair is recommended. Also, please bring a blanket, pillows to support your head or under the knees, and eye covering. No experience is necessary.
