Ayurveda Meets Yogic Sleep: Join Me Monday Nights
|
Hi Reader, Happy Monday! As many of you know, I’ve been sharing insights from Ayurveda—a tradition I’ve been deeply immersed in while studying to become a Doctor of Ayurvedic Medicine over the past four years. This path followed decades of practicing and teaching yoga, beginning back in the 1990s. Ayurveda and Yoga come from the same ancient system of holistic living: 🌙 Starting tonight, I’ll be teaching a new weekly Yoga Nidra class in San Francisco—and everyone is welcome. Yoga Nidra is a beautiful example of yogic discipline paired with one of the most healing lifestyle practices we can offer ourselves: deep rest. It goes beyond ordinary sleep in its restorative and therapeutic effects. I hope you’ll consider joining me regularly. What to Expect🧘♀️ Yoga Nidra is a deeply restorative, guided meditation practiced lying down in savasana (corpse pose). Often called “yogic sleep,” it promotes profound rest, nervous system healing, and inner clarity. Through gentle, voice-guided instruction, you’ll be led into a state between waking and sleeping—where the body lets go and the mind becomes still. Once you enter this state, you’ll be invited to set a personal intention, or sankalpa. This is how we consciously create reality. What makes this practice unique is that your intention is visualized from within a deep meditative state—amplifying its power and aligning with the subtle forces that help bring it to life.
