The Yogic Sleep: Laya Yoga | Online Immersion

What will we explore?

In this series of classes we start Yoga Nidra by dissolving tension from the peripheral limbs and superficial fascia. Then we relax inward toward the core in order to dissolve tension in the nervous system, gut, spine and brain. Ultimately, we experience the unitive state of absorption free from distraction and division. At the end of the calendar year, join us for this experience of profound serenity and peace. Each class includes a movement practice prior to the practice of yogic sleep.

How are sessions structured?

Each session entails approximately 20 – 30 minutes of lecture, and the remaining time is used for guided practice.
