August is here!
This past July we practiced different forms of sitting meditation after our asana practice. Research on meditation continues to show that neural circuits transform to increase functionality, focus, empathy and happiness. ABC News recently covered how meditation can help re-wire your brain, in little as an 8 week practice and how more Americans are now practicing meditation. Watch the clip.
This month we practice : Yoga Nidra
Nidra : Sanskrit word for sleep
August Focus : Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra or yogi sleep is a form meditation that uses imagery to relax you mentally, emotionally and physically. In yogi sleep we mindfully eliminate stress and burdens and attain more blissful state of awareness. We will practice yoga nidra for 17-20 minutes at the end of asana practice this month.
