Saturday, December 14, 4-5:30pm
with Molly Donlan AT PYP FOREST
When spilling your morning coffee turns into a full-blown meltdown–
it’s time to make space in your month for rest! If life feels like a lot lately,
consider this workshop to be a reset button: for 90 minutes you do not need
to plan or think, you don’t need to hold space for anyone else, you’re invited to
ease slowly into your body and let go of your to-do list in a space created for
you to completely rest.
Yin Yoga helps to release tension and patterns of strain within the
deepest layers of the body, freeing you from holding on to the physiological
response to stress. Yoga Nidra is the ancient, scientific, and methodical
practice of combining deep relaxation with guided meditation—giving you
space for your nervous system to take an exhale to connect with the human
that exists beneath your thoughts, stress, and anxiety.
This workshop will be offered with a period of Yin poses and breath
work to prepare your body, mind, and heart for the deep stillness of the Yoga
Nidra practice, traditionally experienced in Savasana pose. During the Yin
portion of this workshop and with your consent, Reiki practitioners will make
their way around the room, offering their healing hands to you in service of
heightening your own restorative capacity and aiding in your deepest
relaxation.
No experience is necessary and all are welcome! Dress comfortably in
layers and experience for yourself this powerful combination of practices.
