About the Practice…
Yoga Nidra is a systematic method of inducing complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. The term yoga nidra is derived from two Sanskrit words, yoga meaning union and nidra, translating to sleep. Yoga Nidra is accessible to anyone who can lay on the floor, or sit in a chair if access to the floor is challenging. Please wear layers, deeply restorative practices can often lower body temperature. Yoga Nidra and preparatory breath work will be facilitated by Katy Benjamin, an experienced yoga teacher who focuses on injury prevention and healing, as well as posture modification and special needs. She is currently pursuing a Certification as a Yoga Therapist with Integrative Yoga Therapy.
Sound Healing will be provided by our special guest Tom Catton, who plays the Tibetan Bowls. Each bowl's pitch corresponds to a chakra center in the body. Tom is a gifted Mindfulness Meditation Teacher who lives here in East Hawaii. He offers Tibetan Bowl Therapy for groups, as well as individuals in his home. It is truly a gift to be in the presence of Tom and his bowls.
Please Bring warm layers, and blankets/cushion/yoga mat if you have. There will be some provided, but not necessarily enough for everyone.
