Deeply Relax Your Whole Being
Tuesday PM - 8 ET / 7 CT / 6 MT / 5 PT -
Online
1 Hour
Reap the benefits of a deeply relaxing healing practice.
Set up a safe, calm, and comfortable environment.
Breathe, set an intention, and after a brief gentle warm-up, settle into a few supported Restorative postures.
Resting in stillness, fully supported by yoga props (or your own versions, like pillows and blankets) helps to calm the nervous system, relax/settle the mind/body/spirit.
This practice activates the 'Rest and Digest' or Parasympathetic response in our Nervous System, which can help any health problem that is caused or exacerbated by chronic stress, such as fibromyalgia, gastrointestinal ailments, insomnia, hypertension, anxiety disorders and many more.
Gentle Yoga Asana + Mindfulness
Tues / Thurs Mornings -
10 ET / 9 CT / 8 MT / 7 PT - Online
1 Hour
Mindful Movement Yoga practice is a gentle balanced practice designed to improve and/or maintain flexibility, strength, and coordination as well as develop a greater sense of overall well-being and contentment.
Gently stretch and strengthen the body in reclined, seated, and standing poses, while developing mindful awareness. This practice hydrates fascia (connective tissue), lubricates joints, improves the mind/body connection, (proprioception & interoception), which keeps us safer, more 'coordinated' as we move through the world.
Mindfulness is a practice that helps us remain present in the moment; it helps us identify and more wisely choose our thoughts and belief systems, and makes it easier to respond more calmly to our inner and outer circumstances. Mindfulness has been shown to ease anxiety, as well as mental and physical tension.
Conscious Awareness Sleep
Friday, Feb 2nd - Evening - Online
7:30 ET/ 6:30 CT / 5:30 MT / 4:30 PT
1 Hour
During yoga nidra, participants are guided through a systematic practice of moving awareness from the external world to the inner world. Yoga Nidra brings us to a state of deep rest where our body, senses, intellect, and mind relax. When this happens, brain activity reduces and the body goes into a healing state.
Yoga Nidra can be used to transform limiting belief systems about ourselves and the world; bringing about long-lasting physical, emotional, and mental healing.
During the practice, participants lie still on a comfortable surface with the intention to listen to the facilitator and move into a deep state of conscious awareness sleep.
