$35.00 Yoga Nidra & Sound Immersion/Rest, Relax, Restore
Yoga Nidra, also known as ‘yogic sleep,’ is a guided form of meditation that takes you to a point just above sleep where your body and mind can experience true relaxation. In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, many of us never get to slow down; we are constantly multitasking, thinking of the next thing to do and the next place to be.
Through a progressive relaxation process, Yoga Nidra takes you from the more thinking brain waves (beta) to the deeper subconscious states (alpha and, for some, theta). As you deepen into relaxation, you move out of an activated and stressed nervous system (sympathetic) and into the healing qualities of your rest and digest system (parasympathetic). This practice doesn’t just feel good; it allows your body to switch to healing and repair mode, which usually only happens when we sleep.
Following a 40-minute practice of Yoga Nidra, you will continue to drift deeper on your meditative journey by listening to the resonating sounds of crystal singing bowls, chimes, ocean drums, and more.
What you may consider bringing from home:
Yoga mat, pillow, cushion, blanket, bolster, etc., to build yourself a meditative nest (blankets and some bolsters are available in the studio
Eye mask
Water
Codie Williams
Codie served in the United States Marine Corps for 13 years. While in the military she explored many different physical practices such as bodybuilding, olympic weight lifting, long-distance running, indoor and outdoor cycling, and more. It wasn't until she stepped onto a yoga mat for the first time around 2008 that she recognized this was a practice that could be sustained for a lifetime. Codie says, "I came to yoga for the physical practice but I stayed with yoga for the mental clarity, agility, and stillness that are inevitable side effects of the practice."
After departing the military, Codie became deeply curious about the world around her and the world within her. This led her to begin to travel the world, solo, to discover different healing modalities that spoke to her soul. Throughout her travels, Codie became a 500-Hour Registered Yoga Teacher, Certified Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher, and trained in the arts of Sound Healing ,Breathwork, Reiki, and more. Her path in life is now dedicated to holding sacred space for others to meet themselves, discover their true nature through self-exploration, and heal. Codie says "My prayer is that I can spread love, authenticity, and vulnerability to everyone I meet so that all beings may live full and joyful lives."
You can be sure that Codie's classes will never be too serious. Her classes have
been described as "receiving a warm hug from a friend". Codie's open heart and
encouraging smiles create a space where discipline, play, exploration, and
acceptance can meet on the mat.
