About the workshop
Our increasingly busy and digitally connected lives expose us to constant stimulation and persistent demands on our attention. These conditions can contribute to accumulated physical and mental tension, making it difficult to experience genuine rest.
This experiential workshop introduces Yoga Nidra, a practice rooted in the Tantric yoga tradition that invites deep relaxation while cultivating awareness.
Beginning with gentle movement to prepare the body, participants will be guided through conscious breathing and systematic relaxation toward a state of deep rest, where the body relaxes, the mind becomes quiet, and awareness may remain present.
The practice will be followed by personal reflection and group discussion, allowing participants to share their experiences and insights.
During the session, you will
- Explore Awareness: Discover the difference between thinking about the body and directly experiencing sensations through a simple guided exercise.
- Prepare for Deep Rest: Explore conscious breathing and gentle physical preparation to support relaxation and stillness.
- Discover Yoga Nidra’s Roots: Learn about the traditional foundations of Yoga Nidra and its effects in modern life.
- Experience Yoga Nidra: Participate in an extended guided practice, moving through bodily sensations and breath toward deep relaxation and inner stillness.
