Yoga Nidra
Friday, May 8
1:00-2:00 pm
Yoga Nidra—often called the “yoga of sleep”—is a deeply restorative guided meditation practiced while lying in savasana. This practice supports stress relief, inner calm, and a renewed sense of energy, all while maintaining gentle awareness. Participants are guided through a journey of body, breath, and mind, allowing tension to release and clarity to arise. Bring a yoga mat and blanket for comfort; an eye pillow or hand towel to cover the eyes is optional. This practice offers a space to rest, restore, and reconnect with yourself.

The Meaning of OM
This mini workshop explores the history, symbolism, and significance of one of the most familiar sounds used in Western yoga practice. Although OM is often chanted, its deeper meaning and origins are not always well understood. This workshop reflects on OM as an ancient, primordial sound and how it appears in classical texts. You will leave with a foundational understanding of OM and a deeper felt connection to its resonance in practice.
