Achieve Four Hours of Deep Sleep in One Hour
Padma Yoga, in Palm Coast, will host two complimentary
Yoga Nidra sessions from 7 to 8 p.m. on February 12 and 19, both in person and
virtually on Zoom. “These hour-long classes will help you begin your weekend
stress-free, with an open heart and peaceful mind,” says Micki Higgins, founder
of Padma Yoga.
According
to Higgins, anyone can practice yoga nidra. “You can’t do it incorrectly,”
assures this passionate yogini, who enjoys teaching others this form of
yoga, commonly referred to as yogic sleep. “This powerful meditation technique
is one of the easiest yoga practices to develop and maintain.”
During a yoga nidra session, the
practitioner rests in savasana (corpse pose) while the yoga instructor
systematically guides them through a meditation that promotes a profound state
of rest and relaxation. “It is widely known that one hour of yoga nidra is
equal to four hours of deep, restful sleep,” says Higgins. “The stages of body
scan and breath awareness alone can be practiced to calm the nervous system,
leading to less stress and better health.”
In-person
class size limited to six participants due to social distancing; attendees must
register in advance. Masks may be removed once on the mat. No preregistration
required for Zoom. Location: 5 Utility Dr., Ste. 15. For more information, call
