About this event
Yogic Sleep, or Yoga Nidra, is a guided practice done lying down, during which you are brought towards the liminal state between wakefulness and sleep. The practice consists of somatic awareness, intentional relaxation, and guided visualization in order to direct the mind towards internal sensation. Yoga Nidra is a practice of pratyahara, or sense withdrawal. Its purpose is to bring us inwards and prepare the mind for deeper states of meditation, as outlined in Patanjali's Yoga Sutra. This traditional practice can be deeply transformative and is accessible for beginners.
