Journey with me to unwind, release and relax at SaunaFest with this one-hour immersive experience. We open our practice with simple breath practices and slow-flow meditative yoga to attune into the body, followed by a 35-minute Yoga Nidra (guided relaxation practice). You are invited to soften into your breath, deepen awareness of your physical form and peel back the layers of consciousness, while fostering a sense of grounding and stability. Yoga nidra is a deeply restorative practice that induces a state of conscious relaxation similar to meditation and can prompt healing on physical, emotional and spiritual levels. You are invited to lie down for this time so please bring suitable warm clothing, blankets, yoga mat and something to cover your eyes. By combining these ancient yogic practices with a focus on nature connection and grounding, you can expect to leave feeling rejuvenated, centered, and more deeply connected to yourself, and the world around you. So grab your mat and join me for an hour of subtle restoration and renewal amidst the hustle and bustle of the festival!
