New Moon Yin & Yoga Nidra
with Willow Brook
March 10, 5-7pm Pacific
2 hours of deep embodied restoration to connect to the inner life and integrate our transformations
Are you longing to slow down enough to be with your inner life?
Rest is an essential ingredient to life.
Join Willow for an evening of deep relaxation as we enter the sacred time of this lunar phase.
Do you long for restorative ceremony that includes the body?
New Moon Yin & Yoga Nidra will be an immersive 2 hour journey of yin yoga to bring deep restoration into the body. Our practice will combine pranayama (breathwork) asana (physical postures) that we hold for 3-5 minutes on the floor supported by props, yoga nidra (yogic sleep that allows us to rest more deeply than our typical modern life allows) and devotional chanting.
What is Yin Yoga?
Yin yoga is a slower paced practice that cultivates inner reflection and relaxation. Holding floor poses with support for the body for longer periods of time targets the connective tissue of the body. It supports emotional, mental energetic and physical health and vitality.
What is Yoga Nidra?
Yin nidra (yogic sleep) is a guided relaxation practice that allows us to rest more deeply than our typical modern life allows.
Come as you are to dive into the inner life and bear loving witness to all that arises.
This gathering is for you if you are...
-Craving a respite to restore and replenish your spirit
-Grappling with the weight of daily trials and tribulations
-Wishing for a moment of tranquility amidst life's ceaseless rush
-Seeking the path that leads to the whispers of your own heart's wisdom
Setting Intentions
The new moon is a potent time to plant seeds and set our intentions for what is growing in us. Join us for a time of deep reflections and integrating our transformation.
