Yoga Nidra, also known as Yogic sleep is an ancient meditative practice which facilitates deep relaxation. It is a powerful tool for physical, emotional and mental healing and self exploration. Physically, Yoga Nidra allows healing at the cellular level through the down regulation of inflammation, the practice allows the mind to rest and refresh and gives the brain time to organise thoughts and emotions. Studies show that one hour of Yoga Nidra provides the same benefits as four hours of sleep. This workshop will explore Pranayama, Koshas and Yamas in addition to the Yoga Nidra practice.

Yin yoga is a slow-paced, quiet and contemplative practice which consists of a series of long-held, passive floor poses. It is designed to improve flexibility, calm the mind and body, and reduce stress, anxiety and physical tension that can be held in the connective tissues. Yin yoga is slower and more meditative, giving you space to turn inward and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of your body. Since you’re holding poses for a longer period of time than you would in other traditional types of yoga, yin yoga helps you stretch and lengthen those rarely-used tissues, while also teaching you how to breathe through discomfort and sit with your thoughts and emotions.

Combining yin yoga with the journalling process elicits calm and helps your mind and body to enter into a relaxed state, therefore helping you to access insights you may not have had otherwise.
