Private Yoga Nidra- 90 min
Yoga Nidra, often referred to as "yogic sleep," is a state of conscious relaxation that guides participants into a deep meditative experience. In this practice, individuals lie down in a comfortable position and follow verbal instructions from the facilitator, in this case, Karla.
The aim of Yoga Nidra is to induce a state of profound relaxation while maintaining awareness. It involves systematically moving attention through different parts of the body, breath awareness, and visualization. Despite the name, it is not a physical form of yoga; instead, it focuses on calming the mind and releasing tension from both the body and mind. Benefits of Yoga Nidra include stress reduction, improved sleep, heightened self-awareness, and enhanced overall well-being. It is a powerful tool for relaxation and self-discovery, making it an ideal practice for those seeking mental and emotional rejuvenation.
No experience required.Facilitator: Karla Delaney, RYT
Karla has been a dedicated yoga practitioner since 2013, starting her journey in college as a means of personal healing and wellness. Embracing the transformative power of yoga, she became passionate about sharing its benefits with others. Karla focuses on the power of slowing down, embracing micro-movements, and balancing stillness with energetic release through creative movement. Her unique approach combines her background in Therapeutic Recreation, Hatha Yoga training, and a love for the Arts & Music, fostering holistic health and creative self-expression. At Jade Therapies, Karla leads Restorative Yoga classes and occasional workshops.
