Restorative & Yoga Nidra with Marla Joy of Swaha
Saturday, July 4
The practice of Yoga is ultimately about balance. Having busy lives can often take us off-kilter. Restorative Yoga is a form of Yoga that benefits all of the organs
and systems of the body, by facilitating a deep and profound relaxation of the physical, emotional and spiritual Self.
Yoga Nidra means Yogic Sleep. It is a state of conscious Deep Sleep. In Meditation, you remain in the Waking state of consciousness, and gently focus the mind,
while allowing thought patterns, emotions, sensations, and images to arise and go on. However, in Yoga Nidra, you leave the Waking state, go past the Dreaming
state, and go to Deep Sleep, yet remain awake.
Time: 4:00pm to 6:00pm
