Yoga Nidra or Conscious Deep Sleep

Thursday mornings 10-11.15am
The practise of yoga nidra can induce incredible calmness, quietness and clarity. It is a state of deep conscious sleep - during which you may discover almost complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation.
You are gently guided to relax every part of your body and induce a state of deep relaxation, similar to the slow, calm and tranquil state experienced prior to sleep. Breathing and thinking gradually slow allowing you to reach a state of peace and deep repose.
During a yoga nidra class you will be asked to wear comfortable clothes, lie on a yoga mat, wrapped in warm blankets, and follow the spoken instructions of your yoga teacher.
The practise of yoga nidra involves a series of specific stages which guide the participant into a state of deep relaxation. The stages are:
- Preliminary relaxation of the body
- Rotation of body awareness throughout the whole body
- Conscious breathing
- Feeling and sensations to bring relaxation at an emotional level
- Mental relaxation through visualisation
- A return to full awareness
The Benefits of yoga nidra:
- Encourages stress release
- Reduce feelings of anxiety and tension
- Promotes mental and physical wellbeing
- Can help to lower blood pressure
One hour of Yoga Nidra can be as restful as four hours good sleep.
