Yoga Nidra
with Angie Gifford

Too often and unbeknownst to us, we live in a constant state of stress bombarded by noise and sounds, addicted to junk light, thinking we always have to be moving. Great healing can be found in stillness. 

Benefits of Yoga Nidra:

    -        Takes the body and mind out of fight and flight

    -        Restores the body and mind to rest and digest

    -        Calms the parasympathetic nervous system 

During Yoga Nidra, the pineal gland, sometimes called the god gland, releases a boon of yummy hormones into the body: gaba, serotonin, melatonin, dopamine, human growth hormone, and more. These feel good chemicals flood the body and when the practice has ended, the individual feels rested, relaxed and often times mentally more clear.

I will share a short introduction to the practice before we begin. As this session is at the end each day, your bodies will have moved enough. Give yourself the gift of Yoga Nidra and allow your body, mind, and spirit to relax in the beauty of REST.
