We will enter into a Yoga Nidra experience that will range between 35 to 45 minutes. Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation that involves breath awareness and body sensing along with intention setting. The goal of Yoga Nidra is to unearth the blockages (Samskaras) that exist as matter, energy, and thought that may prevent the flow of prana (life force) throughout the body.
