    Yoga Nidra is a guided practice for deep relaxation, translated as yoga sleep. Others use the terms awake asleep, lucid sleep, or sleep meditation. It’s a beautiful practice that helps us rest and relax deeply by yoking brain, body, and breath to each other in the common purpose of peace. (Yoke derives from yoga.)

    The natural state of the body at rest is the body at rest, but most of us don’t even know what that means or feels like. Rest is not reading, watching tv, or scrolling. They may be relaxing, but they are not rest. We like to think we have become inured to the constant barrage of stimuli from our devices, but the central nervous system gets overwhelmed by too much input, playing out as

    • pain
    • heart disease
    • autoimmune disorders
    • poor concentration
    • depression and/or anxiety

    all of which are manifestations of internal dissonance.

    Guided, deliberate rest tonifies the vagus nerve and improves internal communication so the brain, body, and breath coordinate and cooperate. With guided, deliberate rest, we become reflective not reflexive, responsive not reactive, resilient not recoiling in the face of any difficulty.

    We become bodiful.

    Someone’s been telling you you really ought to try yoga …

    … and you admit you would like to feel better, but you just keep asking yourself how it helps to explore what it means to be you while you try to look like a mountain or a tree.

    Yoga for Stiffs: An 8-Week Introduction is designed for you.

    We'll break down a few fundamental poses into their essential components to get you on your way to understanding the language of sensation.

    Week 1: Basic biomechanics, body cues, and compensation.

    Week 2: Are you standing on your own two feet?

    Week 3: Is the center of you centered?

    Week 4: Is your spine long and supple?

    Week 5: Is your ribcage flexible?

    Week 6: Is your shoulder girdle balanced?

    Week 7: Is your head on straight?

    Week 8: When's the last time you rested deeply?

    No special clothes. Whatever comfortable clothing you already own will be fine.

    No special props. I’ll send you a list of things you probably have around your home that will work. (If you don’t have those, then you might have to purchase a few things.)

    You will need to be on camera so I can observe your movement, but you can otherwise be in the comfort and privacy of your own space … getting looser session by session.

Free Meditation Group

Mondays | 5:05 - 5:25 pm

A few times a week, we come together to practice anapana meditation in which we try to quiet the mind and settle the body enough to focus our attention on the simple sensation of the breath coming in and going out across the upper lip. I speak at the beginning and occasionally throughout, but much of the time we are silent. You may sit in a chair or on the floor; you may lie back; you may move around quietly. Leaving your audio on mimics the ambiance of meditating in a room together. The sound of others' breath or movement or even ambient sounds from others' spaces enhances rather than detracts from the experience. It is a lovely few minutes to transition from morning to afternoon or afternoon to evening.
