Are you curious about Yoga Nidra?
Yoga Nidra, which has gained recognition in mainstream media as NSDR (Non-Sleep Deep Rest), is an accessible practice suitable for all.  In these uncertain times of stress, participants report a renewed sense of calm after a practice.  Although I have been trained in various styles of Yoga Nidra (sometimes referred to as Yogic Sleep), I offer practices based on either iRest® Yoga Nidra Meditation, created by Richard Miller, PhD, or the I AM™ Yoga Nidra, created by Kamini Desai. Each technique shares the benefits of allowing you to connect more deeply with yourself.   Every session allows a profound sense of relaxation and ease when you need it most.   Come as you are.  This meditative practice can be done in bed, lying down in a restorative position, seated, or standing.  Your comfort is the main objective!  Please join us each Monday.  Take the initiative to help reduce your reaction to life’s daily stressors!

What is chair yoga?

This gentle class is suitable for any age.  Each class starts with an opening meditation or breath practice.  Seated movement in an armless chair promotes healthy joint movement.  A chair yoga dance is sometimes added for fun!  We spend about 10-15 minutes in standing balance poses, supported by the chair.  This lively, fun group of friends and family has been gathering on Zoom since the early days of the pandemic.  Curious about a typical class?  Here’s an unedited video from one of our Spring 2022 classes.  Join the fun.
