Yoga Nidra for Staying Calm

with Erica Mather 

Wed. May 28, 10:30-11:45 pm

The modern world seems to be filled with more and more things to worry about – many of them completely out of our control. Yoga is widely known to offer relief from distress of the body and the mind. A meditative technique called Yoga Nidra helps to train the mind to calm down and relax in tranquil settings, establishing a healthier baseline. As a result, our real challenges can be met with greater clarity. Erica will show us how to use this form of yoga for calming the mind, and she’ll talk about its history, some modern studies, applications, and updates.
