The Art of Rest is a class suitable for everyone, regardless of experience. During the class you will stay in the reclined position of Savasana or a similar pose of rest. This unique practice guides you into deep relaxation while keeping your mind aware, allowing your body to fully release tension. The Art of Rest is a Yoga Nidra practice that can be customized to meet your needs. Requests are available to focus on specific areas of tension or pain in the body, which help you relax and release tension where you need it most at that time.

It is said that one hour of yoga nidra is equivalent to four hours of sleep—four hours of deep rest for the body, the kind of rest that our body and mind need. Yoga nidra systematically lowers the brain waves, and induces delta brain waves. This activates the parasympathetic nervous system and promotes physical healing and memory retention. It heightens self-awareness, which increases creativity and problem solving skills. Research shows it enhances mental and emotional well-being and reduces symptoms of PTSD and anxiety. By practicing regularly, you can reduce stress, improve sleep, and find inner peace.
