Relaxation Through Yoga Nidra; No Strain, No Poses

The Passover holiday commemorates the biblical story in which the Hebrews rushed out of slavery and into freedom. It is a wonderful opportunity to explore restriction, release, and expansiveness in our lives today. In this class series, we will meditate on the meaning of Passover using an ancient yogic practice. Every class will begin with a brief discussion of a Passover ritual or text, usually followed by some time for self-reflection and / or writing. Then, we will examine our reflections and sense of freedom through a series of meditative self-inquiry exercises known as Yoga Nidra. This practice is extremely relaxing, effortless, and healing. We will finish each class with some ideas on how to continue the process of exploration. This series will give you a fresh outlook on Passover, enhance your well-being, and recharge your batteries for both the holiday preparations and celebrations!
