Well rounded, firey (like the sun) Jivamukti Open class!
We explore some ancient techniques offered in Hatha Yoga Pradipika and get ready for the summer to unfold. The word solstice comes from the Latin roots sol, meaning sun, and stitium, meaning to stop or be still. With unassuming clarity, these etymological elements describe the precise moment of a solstice when our radiant solar star appears to pause in the sky as its trajectory undergoes a perceived directional shift. This cosmic pause welcomes our attention as we prepare to enter the next cycle of our planet’s breathwave.
Studies have shown that 1 hour of yoga nidra equates to 4 hours of deep sleep! So in times of anxiety and difficulty unwinding i’m so delighted to offer a yoga nidra session that will help you sleep like a baby.
Yoga Nidra is a state of complete bodily relaxation, in which the mind rests in a suspended state awake, yet calm, and free of all distraction. The body, senses and material mind are magnetized.
