This class 4-session class comes from the I AM Yoga Nidra tradition as taught by Yogashwara Kamini Desai and GuruDev Amrit Desai. It is an ancient sleep-based meditation technique that has the power to take one to the innermost levels of relaxation where the whole body and being is permeated by peace of mind and profound stillness. It unlocks the mystical, integrative powers of the subconscious, as well as your higher centers of consciousness to assist in ridding of old thought patterns that no longer serve. I AM Yoga Nidra practice can assist in calming what we call in Ayurveda "the Vata Mind" - the restless and constant thought patterns that keep us in a state of anxiety, worry and fear. My engaging in this practice we can begin to create balance where imbalance once existed in our entire being from an Ayurvedic and Meditative perspective.
Combining these two forces is a powerful practice for healthier living.
