As we approach the threshold of a new year, join us in a transformative workshop that will empower your intentions for 2024. “Renew, Rest, Manifest” combines the restorative power of Yoga Nidra with intention-setting practices to create a sacred space for self-discovery and renewal.
Our journey begins with gentle journaling and pranayama (breathwork) to help you connect with your inner desires. We then transition into a full and passive restorative practice, where your body and mind can completely relax. The use of mudras and sacred sound healing adds depth to your experience, further nurturing your intentions.
The heart of this workshop lies in the deeply transformative Yoga Nidra meditation. As you rest in a state of profound relaxation, you will be guided to align with your intentions and manifest them in the new year.
Join us in the MindBody studio on Sunday, January 14 from 5:30 – 7:00 PM for this unique workshop to embrace the transformative power of intention and embark on your 2024 journey with clarity, purpose, and a renewed sense of self.
