Yoga Nidra
Led by: Sherry Rubin

Time: 1:00 - 3:00 pm
Cost: $35
Location: Now & Zen Yoga, 525 East Gay Street, West Chester, PA 19380
Yoga Nidra is a 4000-year old meditation and self-inquiry technique that teaches how to ease stress and relax physically, emotionally and mentally while remaining totally alert and aware. The student is guided through a series of progressive relaxation and meditation techniques aimed at raising awareness of different aspects of the body, mind, and emotions. Its magic lies in the paradox that by learning to simply observe and accept “what is”, you release tension and feel more freedom and contentment in your daily life. This class will include instruction, guided yoga nidra practice and time for Q & A. No previous meditation or yoga experience is necessary. The practice can be done either lying down or seated. Please wear comfortable clothes.
