Yoga Nidra & Pranayama – Deep Rest for Body, Mind & Soul

Once a month (check the schedule) 19-20:00
 

Yoga Nidra, often called “yogic sleep,” is a guided meditation practice that allows your body to rest fully while your mind remains awake, releasing tension and restoring balance on every level.

Combined with Pranayama – the art of conscious breathing – this practice enhances energy flow, calms the nervous system, and supports emotional clarity.
Whether you’re seeking stress relief, better sleep, or a moment of inner peace, this class offers a profound way to recharge and reconnect with yourself.

No previous experience needed – just bring a willingness to surrender to stillness (& maybe an extra blanket & socks if you wish)

Join us and experience the transformative power of deep relaxation and breath awareness.
