After much positive feedback following her Yoga Nidra workshop earlier this month, and motivated by a deep desire to help other business people reduce stresses in this season, the Director of Kripalu UK, Suzie Jennings, will be offering two free lunchtime Yoga Nidra classes to those who work in offices near The Kripalu Centre.

Here is how Suzie describes Yoga Nidra:

Yoga Nidra is an enjoyable and easy practise. It is more accessible than most forms of yoga since all it requires is laying down and listening. You cannot do it incorrectly. The instructions are simple. Lay down, eyes closed and listen to the voice guiding you into a deep relaxation. Yoga Nidra, by inducing the relaxation response, offers a swift entry into all layers of being where healing and regeneration occur. 

Our bodies know exactly what to do to attain and maintain perfect health and equilibrium, but we need the necessary conditions for that to happen, and Yoga Nidra creates these very conditions. The complete occupation of the mind during Yoga Nidra reduces or eliminates our habitual thought patterns. This is the key for both relaxation and healing processes as these habitual thought patterns are often unconscious.

Please join us on Tuesday  27^th January at 12:15pm or Wednesday  28^th January at 1:00pm. Each class will last for 45 minutes. 

There is no charge, no marketing, no pressure! 

Just enjoy!!
