Relieve the Holiday Stress
This month's yoga nidra practice will be focused on self-care and relaxation. The holidays can be a magical time of the year. We may spend more time with those we love and celebrate one another through the gift of giving as we create new memories. However, this time can also be one of hectic planning and stress. We may feel the weight of more responsibility, a drain on savings, the pressure to buy more, or the grief of missing loved ones who are no longer with us. If you are already feeling the stress this season can bring, give yourself the gift of being guided into this gentle Yoga Nidra and Reiki practice.
In this workshop, students will lie down in Shavasana and be guided through various stages of deep rejuvenation experiencing transformative “yogic sleep” and profound relaxation. During this practice Kerry will also offer short personal energy healing Reiki treatments to each practitioner to assist in releasing any energetic blocks or suppressed emotions.
Please note: There is no yoga asana or movement involved; all that is needed is for the practitioner to get comfy and listen to the sound of Kerry's voice guiding them the through various stages of Yoga Nidra which induce total calm within the mind and body.
It is said that 30 minutes of Yoga Nidra is equivalent to 2-4 hours of sleep in the body.
Common Benefits to Yoga Nidra:
A calmer nervous system
The release of negative thought patterns
Help with insomnia, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and chronic pain.
Reiki is spiritually guided life energy known as Ki or Chi.
Ki is the non-physical energy used by healers. Chi flows through to harmonize imbalances that may be physical, mental or emotional. Using hands-on healing with light touch or above body hand placement (floating hands), this gentle, non-invasive modality can treat physical pain as well as depression, trauma, anxiety, stress, grief, and much more.
