    Om Shala (Original Location)
    858 10th St Arcata, California

    Yoga Nidra is a lying down guided meditative process where the practitioner engages with the power of rest. Yoga Nidra cultivates many things including: ease of being, radical contentment, and knowledge of self. This exploration of Yoga Nidra will include two different practices, insights regarding yogic philosophy, and scientific understandings to support the practice.

    Om Shala (Original Location)

    In this easeful, heart centered New Year’s Day experience we investigate layers of the body mind through breath, sound, voice, mindful gentle movement and restorative yoga poses. Singing bowls, quartz crystal bowls, an array of chimes and bells, rainsticks & other musical instruments weave a sonic atmosphere.

    Our session culminates in yoga Nidra (rejuvenating supine guided meditations) that will flow into collective singing and chanting!

    A collaboration of Yogi Jeffrey Balinsky, Shemaia Skywater, and friends.

    The perfect way to replenish from whatever you did On New Year’s Eve!
