New Moon Yoga Nidra – Summer Solstice- Online

*Due to the Covid – 19 pandemic closures, our in person workshops are on hold. New Moon Yoga Nidra’s are available online for you to practice at home.

You will receive the download and internet link to your email on the New Moon (or when you register if New Moon has passed), which is yours to keep! Practicing Yoga Nidra at home is easy, all you need is a comfortable place to lie (even your bed will work!), some uninterrupted time, and a device that you can play the audio (phone or computer), and the sound is best with earphones.  I will be sending both a downloadable file, and private Youtube link, so you have options depending on what is best with your internet connection.  Thank you for supporting us, and we look forward to supporting you! Yoga Nidra can have profound effects on the nervous system, so supportive during this time of stress and uncertainty

Yoga Nidra is a guided relaxation practice that supports a more relaxed and easeful state of being, health, and balance. Participants rest in a comfortable, reclined position, and listen to guidance. This practice can be amazing support for anyone, and is especially beneficial at this time, to support the nervous system, transmute fear and anxiety, and allow our beings to integrate positive changes, while the world around us is changing.

Yoga Nidra is technically a state of consciousness. The word ‘Nidra’ refers to sleep with a trace of awareness, or conscious deep relaxation. Yoga Nidra is a therapeutic trance, much like hypnosis. It is as a state of consciousness, that occurs between waking consciousness and dreaming consciousness. To enter into the Nidra state, we utilize a skillful and systemic method of complete relaxation, that has the potential to restore balance through bringing us into the parasympathetic nervous system’s state of rest and digest. As well, it is in this state of deep rest, that we have the potential to affect change on a subconscious, or unconscious level. The practitioner simply rests in a comfortable and very supported position, listening to voice of the guide, and the journey unfolds. We approach the practice with the intention of deepening self inquiry, integrating life changes and insights, and using this method of skillful rest for stress reduction and self care.

The New Moon is a perfect time for Yoga Nidra. As the moon wanes and the light disappears, there is a natural draw towards stillness in our beings; the healing darkness. Just as we need rest in each daily cycle, when the sun sets, we also benefit from allowing our selves to rest and take refuge during the waning and new moon in the monthly cycle, in order to reset the nervous system and prepare for a new beginning. Yoga Nidra during the New Moon answers the deep inner call of taking rest and refuge, as well as creates space for intention to emerge as we begin again. This New Moon is unique, as it aligns with the peak light of Summer Solstice, a beautiful opportunity to use rest to harness light and energy.
