Summer Retreat: Finding Awe

Awe. You find it when you least expect it. A Rainbow. Starlings flying in magical formations. A Super Moon. The list goes on. Maybe we can create our own awesome experiences.

*Yoga Nidra, called “dynamic sleep” is a deep meditation that brings you somewhere between a sleep and an awake state, where you explore the Five Koshas (sheaths or layers): Annamaya Kosha...the body; Pranamaya Kosha...energy; Manomaya Kosha...the mind...Vjanamaya Kosha...the intellect; and finally, Anandamaya Kosha...bliss.

Yoga Nidra has been scientifically proven to reduce stress, release tension and heal the body, so much so that it is effectively used to treat stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD and addictive behavior.

Enjoy the regenerative effects of Yoga Nidra as you journey deep inside your physical, energy and spiritual bodies for deep relaxation.
