Winter Yoga Nidra for Nervous System Regulation: Tuesdays, 6-7pm (Online)
27th October – 1st December. £45.
This 6 week yoga nidra course will guide you into a restful winter with comfort and ease.
Yoga nidra is an effortless rest practice, where a combination of relaxing practices lead you into a hypnotic meditative trance which works on the levels of body, breath, mind, emotion, intuition and creativity.
Designed as both a superb foundation for those curious and new to yoga nidra, as well as catering to more experienced folks who wish to learn more about how and why the practice works; this course is open to everyone.
Each week we will delve into the magical mysteries of one of the main components of yoga nidra, including some chat and discussion at the beginning about the theory behind that element, then a long indulgent yoga nidra practice based around that element to explore it and experience it in full.

What is Yoga Nidra?
If you’ve never done yoga nidra before, some say it’s like an extended Savasana, but really it’s a lying down hypnotic form of guided meditation where the mind is brought into a trance-like state and the body is sent off to sleep.
Through breath awareness, body scans, visualisations and more, the experience of yoga nidra is a magical liminal state of consciousness where you linger in the deliciously creative, healing, and restorative place between wakefulness and sleep.
Excellent for those who find meditation challenging, but also a great compliment to a meditation practice. Ideal for people who find it hard to rest, be still, or fall asleep, it’s an incredible energy recharge which you can use to replace a power nap, and experience a sense of nurturing, peaceful rest.
