Spring Equinox Yoga, Yoga Nidra + Sound Bath Journey

Join us in a celebration of the Spring Equinox!

As winter's cold and barren landscape gives way to the warmth and growth of spring, the equinox invites us to welcome change, rejuvenate our surroundings, and embrace the promise of warmer days ahead. It is a time of balance and harmony, where the forces of light and dark meet equally before the light starts to prevail, leading to longer days.

In essence, the Spring Equinox is a time to celebrate the cycle of life, renewal, and the rebirth of the Earth. It serves as a reminder of the impermanence of life and the constant change that shapes our existence, encouraging us to embrace the moment, nurture our growth, and look forward with optimism to the future.

DETAILS:

A 45-minute Yoga Flow followed by Yoga Nidra + a Sound Bath where you will be guided into a deep meditation as you relax and release what no longer serves you while attuning to the Quartz singing bowls.

This event is a time to turn the senses inward and reflect each month. What is holding you back from your highest and greatest good? How can you become the best version of yourself?

This class is an opportunity to release old patterns and create new beginnings for yourself, setting you down the path of your own personal destiny!

Yoga Nidra + Sound Bath.

A beautiful blend of Yoga Nidra + Sound Healing where we relax deeply in a guided meditation as we attune to the beautiful vibrations of singing bowls. Yoga Nidra is also known as, “yogic sleep.” During Yoga Nidra, you will enter a calming state that triggers a relaxation response, naturally reducing stress in the body and mind. The practice creates physical and mental activities that change brain waves to release emotional tension, slow down the nervous system, and allow muscles to relax.

How does Yoga Nidra work?

While falling asleep, brain waves begin moving from thoughtful beta waves, pass through the stages of alpha waves, then theta waves, and finally enter the slowest frequency of sleep - delta waves. Yoga Nidra guides practitioners into a state of relaxation between the alpha and theta state. This allows us to lie in deep relaxation between waking and sleeping. This state calms the autonomic nervous system that regulates the body's processes that take place without a conscious effort. In addition, it puts the parasympathetic nervous system into a deeper resting state. By calming the nervous system, this guided meditation deeply benefits the brain and body.
