Yoga Nidra or yogic sleep is a process of bringing ourselves to a place of deep rest, beyond what we ordinarily experience in Savasana. Physically we are in deep sleep but mentally we are awake/aware. It is in this space that we will work with a Sankalpa, which can be defined as a "spiritual resolve". In yoga nidra the subconscious mind is open and receptive. The Sankalpa helps us to break old samskaras (patterns), and leave refreshed and renewed.
Lying in Savasana, you will be guided through visualizations to relax the body and open the chakras, followed by a time a silence. A short meditation will conclude the class.
