Yoga Nidra- Breathe into Presence

This yoga nidra practice is focused on nourishing connection to breath. Our breath is a doorway into unconscious systems that can help relieve stress and tension. During this practice you will be invited to use several breathing techniques that help calm the nervous system and quiet the mind. From this place you can shift out of reactive feelings and into a state of greater peace and acceptance. This practice is typically done lying down, but can also be practiced seated. It’s important to be comfortable and warm as the body temperature may drop during the practice.
