Yoga Nidra: Revealing your Sankalpa

about this event

Join us on Wednesday, April 17th from 7:30pm-9pm at our 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.

Sankalpa, a Sanskrit term translating to “intention” or “resolve”, holds a deep significance in yogic and Vedic traditions. It is a powerful practice of setting a positive and affirmative intention aligned with one’s true purpose to manifest change and transformation

Upon arrival enjoy a cup of Blue Lotus Tea before settling in to a guided Nidra experience lead by Lauren. 

Guests can receive 15% 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.
