Join YogaSix Danville for The Art of Rest: A Summer Solstice Yoga Nidra Experience, a deeply restful workshop led by Jaynie Campana. <a href="https://members.yogasix.com/book/yogasix-danville/cr_98263588?amp_device_id=8e71AmBle4RW4DFOih4Ypl" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Sign-up here.</a>
Yoga Nidra, often called “yogic sleep,” is a guided relaxation practice that invites the body and mind into the restful space between waking and sleeping. Unlike a typical movement-based yoga class, this workshop is designed to help participants slow down, settle the nervous system, and experience a deeper state of calm.
Jaynie will guide participants through gentle movement and a long, supported Yoga Nidra practice focused on rest, restoration, and embodied ease. This workshop is ideal for anyone feeling overstimulated, tired, stressed, or simply in need of intentional time to pause.
All levels are welcome, and no prior Yoga Nidra experience is needed. Please wear comfortable clothing and bring anything that supports your comfort, such as cozy socks, a blanket, pillow, or layers.

Academic achievement alone will not prepare teens for the AI-era workplace. This 90-minute workshop for parents and caregivers focuses on the social-emotional competencies — self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making — that form the foundation for workplace readiness.
Top employers agree. In a January 2025 Education Week feature, Google's global head of education impact, Jennie Magiera, named these exact CASEL competencies as traits her teams prize, noting that Google values social-emotional skills as much as technical talent.¹ Microsoft's vice president of education, Paige Johnson, added that the top skills needed to navigate complexity and change in the age of AI remain uniquely human.¹ These "durable human skills" also underpin the capabilities the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025 identifies as essential for tomorrow's workforce, including resilience, flexibility, creative thinking, and lifelong learning.²
Led by Heather Thompson of Attachment Matters, LLC, the session explores how attachment styles shape a child's capacity to develop these competencies and thrive. You'll leave with practical strategies to build the secure foundation your teen needs for future career readiness.
