Yin & Nidra - Deep Exploration of Body & Mind

Friday 26th April 7.00 - 8.30pm

Part of Space To Move's Feel Good Friday Wellness Workshops, this session will take participants on a blissful journey through some deeply releasing Yin yoga poses and on to a relaxing and rejuvenating Yoga Nidra ("sleep of the yogis").

The yin part of the session involve longer held physical poses with plenty of use of props and personally tailored options, with restorative poses and gentle movement between the longer held poses. This provides an overall experience of calm, cool yin energy (rather than heat-generating, faster moving yang energy), allowing the fascia (connective tissues wrapping our organs and muscles) to release.

The nidra part of the session is not a physical practice; participants will find a comfortable place to rest - again props are always encouraged to help you find stillness - then we allow the body to completely rest while the mind follows the nidra technique into an effortless state of complete "non-doing".

The two practices together encourage a deep exploration of not only the body, with deep release found in the stretches, but also a deep exploration of where the mind goes, when left to its own devices or when led through the layers of consciousness to a state of bliss......

No previous yoga or yoga nidra experience needed. All are welcome.
