Yin Flow & Yoga Nidra Workshop with Nina Yau & Jennifer Goodman

We will begin with a Yin Flow class, led by Jennifer Goodman, to gently warm up our bodies and end with a complete practice of Yoga Nidra, led by Nina Yau, to ease our minds.

Yin Flow is a balanced practice of yin and yang, stillness and flow, to bring about energetic circulation, growth and strength, and vitality of body, mind, and heart.

Yoga Nidra is a deep form of relaxation, bringing an incredible calmness, quietness, and clarity. Yoga nidra means "yogic sleep," a state of conscious Deep Sleep. In Yoga Nidra, one appears to be asleep but the consciousness is functioning at a deeper level of awareness. Yoga Nidra can be helpful in soothing the nervous system, increasing relaxation and mental focus.

Please bring additional layers/socks, as the body temperature can drop slightly during Yoga Nidra.

When:
Saturday, February 10:
12-2 pm

Cost: $30
