Yoga Nidra and The Koshas
Learn how to practice and teach deeply relaxing Yoga Nidra.
Yoga Nidra translates to “yogic sleep.” It is a meditative practice done while lying comfortably on the back. Yoga Nidra helps us to tap into our subconscious and unconscious patterning and helps us to release tension in order to manifest our intentions. In this workshop, we will explore and discuss the rich inner-world that is our sub- and un-conscious mind, as well as elements of the 8-limbed path that are important in the process of guiding Yoga Nidra. Pratyahara (restoring the senses to their natural function) and how to achieve it through Yoga Nidra will be discussed. You will also learn about theories and philosophies concerning Yoga Nidra practice and how to help students achieve a deep state of relaxation through methods that incorporate concepts such as rotation of consciousness, the koshas, and visualization.

Learn about the origins and foundations of modern mindfulness practices in this course with Megh!

In this workshop, you will learn about the origins, foundations, and tenants of Buddhism and understand how they apply to yoga.

BUILD STRENGTH AND INCREASE MOBILITY
Join yoga teacher and powerlifter, Laurie LeCompte, for this exploration of strength through yoga and body weight exercises!
This program consists of short (20-30 minutes) vinyasa flow style classes with body-weight strength exercises and movements built seamlessly into the flow. These classes will help you gain mobility and build strength at the same time. Each class presents options to regress and progress the movements so that you have somewhere to work no matter where you’re starting out and no matter how you feel that day. You will also receive a couple rest and stretch practices to complement the strengthening flows. Instructional videos for the main movements are also included.
Who is this for?
Anyone who wants to explore their strength in the context of yoga and body weight movements. You can start this program with any level of strength and mobility. This program can be a stand alone program or a complement to a different athletic activity to serve as cross training. This program will also help you get more out of your yoga practice by teaching what to focus on in each position, strengthening the mind body connection, recruiting more muscle fibers, and giving you more potential for strength. If you have more control over your body, you have a greater ability to make it stronger. The cues given will help you move mindfully while getting super strong and resilient in your body and mind!
