About this event
A special edition of community meditation that will begin with a Yoga Nidra body scan and move into an immersive sound sequence working vibrationally to draw attendees into a deeply relaxed state.
If it feels okay in your body, we will be lying down for this practice. Mats are provided but we encourage you to bring a blanket!
This kind of practice works by activating the parasympathetic nervous system and inducing predominant brainwaves states of alpha and theta, here lies the potential to rest and repair ourselves, gain insight into life direction, reduce anxiety and depression, lower blood pressure, release physical tension, lower stress levels and boost our immune system.
