What This Workshop Is About
Stress, anxiety, and poor sleep can affect every part of your daily life. If you have trouble falling asleep, wake during the night, or simply struggle to unwind, this workshop offers practical techniques to help you relax and restore both body and mind.
In Yoga for Rest, Relaxation & Improved Sleep, you’ll experience a gentle yoga practice designed to calm the nervous system, release physical tension, and guide your body from a state of stress into deep relaxation. The workshop also includes Yoga Nidra, often called “yogic sleep,” a guided meditation practice that promotes profound rest and mental clarity.
