Yoga Nidra with Kellen is a state of consciousness in which our body is asleep, and our mind is in a state of relaxation with expanded awareness; similar to that of deep meditation. In this form of consciousness, our mind and body are able to renew and heal. Done entirely lying down in a comfortable position, students are guided through an extensive body scan which allows for deep relaxation. As the body relaxes and releases tension, and the mind stills, our own healing energy is able to move freely, promoting optimal health. Yoga Nidra has been proven to regulate the nervous system, reverse heart disease, improve sleep, enhance awareness, as well as many other physical, emotional and mental benefits.
Restorative Acupuncture with Brianna & Lauren. This special restorative + acupuncture practice is an invitation to soften into rest and ease. Beginning with gentle movement, this class helps us gently land into our bodies. As we transition into our restorative poses, acupressure points and gentle touch may be offered. Deepening the restorative effects of shavasana, acupuncture will further guide the body into a relaxed nervous system state, offering healing rest to the body and mind. Appropriate for all levels, everyone is welcome. Option to opt out of any touch and/or acupuncture at any point.
