When practiced with intention, Yoga Nidra is a powerful tool to shift your consciousness — and in turn, your outward experience of life. It is also deeply relaxing, healing and restorative — the perfect antidote to stress!
Before practicing yoga nidra, it is helpful to release tension from the body and mind. So we begin with a gentle practice of Ananda Yoga for about 45-50 minutes. This practice is mindful with intentional rest periods in between the postures. In addition, affirmations are integrated which reflect the inner mood or attitude of each pose.
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, Ananda Yoga + Yoga Nidra is designed to shift and uplift your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
