Yoga Nidra: Non-Sleep-Deep-Rest

Deep sleep is regarded as a critical component of health, but even in the deepest stages of sleep, multiple body parts may still be on high alert leading to gnashing of teeth, breath strain and other unconscious tension patterns. In Yoga Nidra, or non-sleep-deep-rest, you are systematically guided to remove tension from every fiber of your being to achieve sustained conscious relaxation.

In each class from MOVE, BREATHE, ROLL – Innovate Series Jill leaves the confines of the ‘rectangle cage’ and brings you into her creative lab where she picks one theme and alchemizes it to help you identify body blind spots. Each class is a whole-body session full of surprises and novel therapeutic approaches that address mobility, pain, strength and soft-tissue recovery. If you’re hungering for something a little different, these sequences will interject some spice into your own practice and spark your own creativity.

Props increase our own spatial awareness. When we use objects, like props, they enlarge our feeling perception and how this felt sense extends into other substrates. Your nervous system functionally adapts its sense of feeling and size into the objects we connect with. By exploring our body’s field of influence and exfluence into different props, we solidify our own sensory-motor maps and better our coordination in every aspect of life.
