2-day Yoga Nidra for Self-Healing — Mini retreat

Saturday & Sunday, Feb. 29-Mar. 1, 9:00am-4:00pm

(Break from 12:00pm-1:30pm both days)

Tuition: $150.00

 

During this two-day program, Dr. Marc Halpern and Dr. Andrea Deerheart will be your guides as you go on a deep and personal inner journey of discovery, relaxation, and deep healing through the sacred practice of Yoga Nidra. Yoga Nidra is an ancient, classical practice of entering in a deeply relaxed but entirely conscious state of awareness. From this state of consciousness, each individual is empowered to remove the obstacles that are in the way of attaining optimal health and peace of mind and then set out on a new path of conscious creation – the manifestation of life as you dream it to be.
Program Structure: This program consists of a combination of practicing Yoga Nidra and group processing. The doctors will share stories both classical and personal and each student is supported and encouraged to be as open as possible. Sacred space, trust, and safety are core principles of this program.

Practicing Periods of Silence

Practicing periods of silence at least once or twice a week has proven to be a wonderful way to keep myself rejuvenated. In addition to observing silence when we meditate or practice Hatha Yoga, it can be as simple as turning down the phone while you clean your room, walking alone in nature or eating a meal quietly and mindfully. If you are at home but around others, you can still practice it by wearing a little sign reading “observing silence”, so they won’t misunderstand your intention.

Bringing Yoga to Life

While we may not always be able to practice the headstand or self-inquiry meditation, there are
endless opportunities to do things with mindfulness and care. Sri Swami Satchidananda taught us
that everything we do can be Karma Yoga–even our eating and sleeping–if we do it with the
attitude of keeping ourselves in good condition to be useful in the world.

Bringing Yoga to Life

“Establishing peace in ourselves is the only way we can expect to have the clarity to then express it in our daily lives, in the difficult interactions we have, where peace is sorely needed.  Our ability to embody nonviolence and compassion will bring those values more powerfully into the world than any speech we can make.”
-Swami Ramananda
