Meditation for Deep Rest (Yoga Nidra)

Welcome - I am Jess from Yoga Nest and I'm so glad you are here.

Please join me the second Tuesday of each month in Term 1 for a 45 minute Meditation (Yoga Nidra) session to cultivate deep rest.

Yoga Nidra is a fully guided meditation practise which may include breath awareness, guided visualisation, and body scan.

Yoga Nidra is a wonderful way to unwind physically and mentally, helping us to achieve a deep, restful state. It encourages our body to let go of tension while our mind stays focused. It can feel like a re-set button for our nervous system.

This meditation is often done lying down with blankets and cushions for comfort.

What to bring:

Some mats will be available, but please bring a mat if you have one, as well as blankets, cushions, eye pillows - anything which will make your time as cozy as possible.

Experience:

Come as you are - you do not need any experience in yoga, breathwork or meditation. All are welcome. You cannot practise Yoga Nidra incorrectly.

Cost:

At Yoga Nest, we believe that wellness should be accessible to everyone, regardless of finances. That is why this class is free for the community.

A little about Yoga Nest:

At Yoga Nest, we offer mindful movement, meditation, and breathing practises in ways that are research-informed and trauma-aware to support people to move and be present in their bodies. We hope to create a safer, more accessible and supportive environment for all people, including those experiencing mental health challenges.

This is not about magically 'curing' your mental health with a yoga class, but about being able to practise yoga in a choice-focused and body-centred way, while limiting possible triggers in the environment and practise.
