Yoga Nidra

Are you looking for an inspired group meditation practice? Join the Health Navigators and our community members for a meditation practice to relax you and bring a state of peace and calm to your evening. 

Our monthly evening meditation session will become a Yoga Nidra practice with Jennifer Steffener. The session will last 45-60 minutes so plan ahead...you might not want to talk to anyone afterward!

We often think of rest, sleep, and relaxation as synonymous. True rest is the act of conscious release, where the body can shift from a state of activity to a state of recovery.

Yoga Nidra or Yogic Sleep is a systematic guided meditation practice in which you move between two layers of consciousness to where the states of waking and dreaming meet. It’s in this powerful resting space that deep and progressive relaxation, recovery, and healing occur as physical, mental, and emotional tensions are soothed.

No experience necessary and all levels are welcome. Expect some gentle movements with breath to prepare. Yoga Nidra is practiced reclined or lying down in Savasana. Do your best to create a quiet, comfortable space with pillows and a blanket, if needed.
