This class is suitable for beginners, seniors, practitioners recovering from injury, and those who enjoy a gentle, slower pace. Meditation Practice Following Thich Nhat Hanh’s (a Vietnamese Buddhist Monk) tradition, we will be sharing and leading 20 minutes of sitting meditation, 5 minutes of walking meditation, and a mindful reading. Although meditation sharing is open and free, we ask for a donation to support needs in our local community. Everyone is welcome, no experience necessary. Yoga Nidra Known as yogic sleep, Yoga Nidra is a meditation and conscious relaxation practice intended to induce physical, mental, and emotional relaxation. Unlike seated meditation, yoga nidra is done lying down. It is guided to take your attention to specific places moving you into a state of conscious deep sleep. During yoga nidra, your mind is actually awake, so it is as though you are in the state between being asleep and awake.
