Join us on Thursday, February 29th from 7:30pm-9pm at Anima Mundi Brooklyn Apothecary for a cozy evening of deep relaxation and inner exploration. Yoga Nidra – also known as “yogic sleep” or “psychic sleep” is a state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep, referred to as hypnagogia. This state involves moving from consciousness while awake to dreaming and then to not-dreaming, while remaining awake – going past the unconscious to the conscious. This is induced by a guided meditation. This practice can cultivate conscious relaxation, ease ongoing stress and anxiety and allows the body to melt away into a soothing state of being. Deep rest and restoration can be achieved through a Yoga Nidra practice of listening and somatically sensing. Upon arrival enjoy a cup of Blue Lotus Tea before settling in to a guided Nidra experience lead by Lauren. Guests can receive 10% off all Anima Mundi Products if desiring to purchase any items post Nidra. Please dress in comfortable clothing and bring a yoga mat, blanket and eye mask if you have them.Lauren Weimer is a longtime Greenpoint resident, vinyasa + nidra yoga teacher and sauna master who is passionate about all things related to the nervous system. She strongly believes in both the science and mysticism woven into a Yoga Nidra practice as a powerful way to achieve deep rest and intimately explore our inner world. She is passionate about the use of grounding practices like sauna rituals and yoga nidra as a way to bring us out of our heads and into our bodies.https://www.laurennicoleweimer.com/IG: @laurenweimer
