Next Yoga Nidra Workshop: May 24 – 27, 2010
“The Sleep of the Yogis”, Yoga Nidra is both the practice and the state arrived at through this practice. The journey includes opening and calming of the physical body, cleansing and healing the emotional body, clearing and focusing the mental body, and finally accessing subtler levels, for exploration, liberation, and to effect profound personal change. We will dive deep into the rich world of utter release. Supports will include Restorative Yoga asanas, gentle hatha movement, meditation, listening partnerships and facilitated discussion.
Yoga Nidra, though noted in yogic literature since at least the 1800s, has only recently become widely discussed in the USA. It is beneficial for anyone, from non-yogis to experienced practitioners of any fitness level or ability. The Yoga Nidra taught is from the Satyananda lineage.
Specific Applications:
* Stress Reduction
* Pain Management
* Whole-Self Wellness
* Spiritual Development
* Heart Conditions
* Anxiety and Depression
* Insomnia
* Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
I hope you will come, and discover for yourself the deepest dimensions of release…

Building on the wonderful success of our first offerings last May and October, I am very happy to announce that I will be able to offer the amazing experience of Yoga Nidra to you again, this time at a three-night Breitenbush Hot Springs Workshop, this coming May 24 – 27. The most common suggestion I received at the last two 2-night offerings was to “please make it longer!” As we discover how deeply unrelaxed we are, as the layers drop away, we realize that it takes time and focus, and that our souls and bodies are crying for that freedom.
Breitenbush has a gorgeous property in the Cascade Mountains, about 1 hour from Salem: 7 hot pools to choose from, a fabulous steam house, beautiful buildings, and wonderful vegetarian cuisine. You can see their website at http://www.breitenbush.com/index.html , and my specific listing in their catalogue at http://www.breitenbush.com/events/may24-27.html.
Registered Nurses, Licensed Massage Therapists, and possibly other licensed professionals, can arrange to receive a whopping 14 Continuing Education contact hours for the workshop – please contact me for details! (And remember, business expenses are tax-deductible, too!) Registration is through Breitenbush. Register early! Space is limited, and there is also a discount for early registration.

Audio CDs or cassette tapes for home practice will be provided as part of the seminar fee, and copies available for purchase.
