Do you long to honor those who have died with ceremony that includes the body?

Yin & Yoga Nidra To Honor The Dead 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.
