Yoga Nidra for the 200 hr Yoga Teachers Training Grads Wed 7pm Lotus Pond

Yoga Moves

The 200 hour Teachers Training group is graduating soon and they are working on yoga therapy this Wed evening.  I was asked to give a nice long Yoga Nidra experience and also speak a little about the benefits of Yoga Nidra and how it can be used in a therapeutic session. I will also discuss the different types of Yoga Nidra and guided meditation.

I will be writing an outline for the Nidra however, most Yoga Nidras are very organic for me I just feel the room and expand on what I am feeling from the group so I am never sure what I am going to say.

I will be doing aromatherapy tonight and it will be Shanti Blend from Yoga Flow Oils, thank you Susan
