An Inner Journey Through Yoga Nidra with Elizabeth Carman

Posted on January 21, 2015 by Esther

SOLD OUT!

Take 2 hours to allow your body to relax deeply, rejuvenate, and restore the balance of peace within.

In this meditative class, Elizabeth will guide you through Yoga Nidra (“yogic sleep”), an enjoyable, easy method developed thousand of years ago.

Yoga Nidra is more accessible that most forms of yoga since it requires no previous yoga experience. All it requires is to lie down and listen.

Many sources state that a one-hour class of Yoga Nidra gives the benefits of four hours of deep sleep. Yoga Nidra boosts memory, retention, learning and creativity through deep relaxation.

Elizabeth is a philosopher/psychologist, pre-birth researcher, former social worker and co-author of Cosmic Cradle, Spiritual Dimensions of Life before Birth. www.cosmiccradle.com

Date: Saturday, February 7, 2015 and Monday, February 16,

Time: 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Cost: $20.00
