'With repeated meditation practice, the expanse of the visible universe with all its qualities dissolves to nothing, to where there is only health and a great joy'. Lalla
Yoga Nidra
The fast pace of modern life often leaves us feeling stressed and anxious as we try to split our attention between competing demands. Patañjali describes meditation (dhyāna) as ‘a continuous flow of single-pointed concentration’. In yoga nidra (yogic sleep) we learn to draw the senses of perception inwards; moving from the busyness of the external world to the still, spacious, silence within.
Classes
YOGA NIDRA
Classes are held weekly at St Martin’s Community Centre. Yoga Nidra is a deeply restful contemplative practice which restores energy, promotes healing and enables us to hear the wisdom of the heart. It is ideal for beginners but is also a lifelong practice enabling us to connect with that aspect of the self which is innately peaceful and joyful; with our deep inner intelligence; with the ground of our being.
Classes last 60 minutes and include gentle movement to release tension and free the breath followed by a 30 minute yoga nidra practice which is usually done lying down.
All Students are given recordings for home practice.
