Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra literally means yogic sleep and is a guided meditation practiced while lying down with the eyes closed.

We experience stress when we become attached to how we think our lives should be.  Stress,  whether mental, emotional, or physical, causes resistance to what is truly happening around us.  During Yoga Nidra we relax enough to let go of our everyday stresses and the demands we place upon ourselves so we can begin to view things as they truly are. The practice of Yoga Nidra provides us with the tools we need to transform all that holds us back allowing us to live a more stress-free life.

Yoga Nidra is easy to practice yet profound in impact.  You will begin to feel its benefits in a very short time and experience dramatic shifts in the form of restful sleep, a calm and peaceful mind, a relaxed body and an overall sense of physical and mental well being.  The most difficult aspect of this practice is remaining awake!

What to Bring

Your yoga mat (a limited number of mats are available at the studio for your use as well).
You may also wish to bring a light blanket and/or low pillow.  If you have any low back pain, please bring a pillow or rolled blanket to place under your knees.

Private Sessions

If you love Yoga Nidra and would like to explore it further, then consider a private session.  In addition to having a teacher attend to you personally, the process of Yoga Nidra and how it all works will be explained in greater detail.  We will also assist you in skillfully creating an intention for yourself, after which you will be guided through a personal Yoga Nidra session created just for you and your intention for maximum benefit.  Your first private session will last approximately 90 minutes and is $65 for the session.  Subsequent sessions are available at a reduced price.  Please email info@shantayoga.com to schedule your session.
